The Year in Flying (2015)

As with my year in cycling, my flying was cut short late in the year (later than my riding) by my heart.  Having said that, though, it was actually a pretty good year especially since I didn’t fly at all in calendar 2014.  I flew more hours (and more flights) than any year since 2010.  I can get my medical back sometime after 9 Feb, so I hope to at least match the flights and hours in 2016.
