Comments:

I flew the Cessna, and got my PP SEL back in the early 70's.
Then family and other things got in the way of my flying.
I had not flown an airplane for probably 20 years until I
bought the MX in the fall of 96. Yes, I got a couple of hours dual
in a Challenger II before attempting to fly the MX. A person gets
pretty rusty in 20 years. Flying the Challenger I now.
