I'd be happy to file a flight plan - if someone can give me a few pointers
on how to actually attach wings to Baby Blue and get her off the ground. I
did take a few hours of flying lessons a few years ago so I'm ok on take
off, never did get as far as landing solo though, that may cause a few
problems in itself trying to get her down in one piece. Also, I got the
radio installed but not the speakers yet so even if ADIZ did radio me I
wouldn't be able to hear them ;-)

(I'm so glad Baby Blue doesn't have an inkling of what this list has in
store for her!)
