Active 8s
The authorization for my medical arrived Friday, but I couldn't see the AME [Flight Surgeon, for those overseas] until Tuesday. Success!
I could see thunderstorms moving in as I drove from his office directly to the airport. The radar showed that the cells might pass to the west. Nope, that was wishful thinking. As I took the highway exit I drove right into the gust front with it gusty winds and blowing dust that made me fear for my car's paint. Nope, not tonight.
But I went out this morning and did steep turns, lazy 8s, and a few landings. All by myself.
The turns were easy for a glider pilot, and the Lazy 8s got better as I went along. What do you do to knock the rust off?

That is SO good to hear. I'm really pleased for you.
As to rust? Steep turns, stalls and slow flight and a little pattern work will do it for me.
Regards, and welcome back to the sky,

Very pleased to hear the news too ... hope you'll have a great, often airborne summer.
Jim,
Congratulations!
As for knocking off the rust, go flying, do stuff like you did, rinse and repeat - Always repeat!
Congrats! The hoopin and hollerin along with the grinnin is part of knocking the rust off too.
Great news! You knew it was coming, you expected it, but opening the letter from CAMI/OKC is always an exciting experience.
