Big day today; just over 7 months after emergency mitral valve replacement, I received a phone call from Transport Canada Civil Aviation Medicine that I my medical is once again valid and I am cleared to return to flying. I know I don't have to explain to anyone on this forum what that means to me.
A couple of weeks ago, a young mechanic helping me with some work on my plane asked me if the aircraft had a name. It didn't, but it got me thinking, and I decided that if and when I got my medical back, I would in fact give the plane a name to recognize the second chance at flying and life that I have been given. I am pleased, then, to tell you that the new name for my 6A is.... "Second Wind".... I hope to have the chance to explain over and over to people at airports and fly-ins for years to come what the name represents
Now I just have to get some vinyl lettering designed and cut, and start planning my first flight in 7.5 months!
