Hey Jeff, I'll be flying out of VNY. It's home, I think it's right and if porcupine911 can solo there, I can too.
The club (not really) I'll be at has a Piper Warrior as well. I'll start on the 172, I'd rather start with the high wing, then move to the low wing as landings become more routine.
Let me know if you do set foot back here again...
Flying with you would be great!
