Yep did not see it coming, they put a stent in so more flying in my future! On the departure I think I called three times, was about to tune back to tower just as you came back. I must say it is a joy hearing Salt Lake Center on the air, nothing like hearing your home city. John Wayne Tower was intense when I came through.. I would like to hear from the controller, what he was thinking during and afterwards.Heart attack? Holy cow, I'm so glad to hear you're back in the saddle.
I didn't realize that was you heading the pack today out of Aspen. I jumped on position early, to configure the scope, configure the audio recorders on the server, etc, but didn't fully activate the scope as I wanted to wait for tower and clearance to be on first. Welp, as you could tell, I never ended up activating it once the event started and you were talking to nobody on the departure. I finally hit the button and the headset jumped to life with what sounded like might've been your 3rd or 4th call. 'Doh! Great start to the event, right?
See you for the next one. No more medical news from you, I hope!
The TBM did quite well, on descent got up to 325 knots.
Looking forward to the next event!
