I see Morph occasionally and don't think he will mind me commenting, as he visits Microlighters very seldom too.

He is trying sell his share of his Bushbaby at Morningstar as he's business is taking up very much of his time, vhpy vhpy
and also wants to 'move on' from flying to other hobbies (motorbiking) which can include his wife, kids and grand children too. (^^)

As far as Morph himself is concerned, he's still well and going very strong (^^) (^^)

Yes we all miss him bitterly :( :( :(

He is sitting right next to me...., about two meters away. Do you want gps coordinates?
If there is grass between your toes , you're flying to low.....
If ever in doubt about flying - drink a beer.
That will give you at least 8 hours to think about it some more.

I heard someone calling

I am still around but completely stopped flying. I wasn't enjoying being in the air, every time I took off I couldn't wait to land again. And then the death of RV4ker was the straw that broke the camels back.

I personally felt the risks were too high for me, and as the only living grandfather for my 3 grandchildren, I decided that I need to focus on them and my wife and daughters. Sentimental I know, but I have already been in 3 aviation accidents and didn't want to expose them to that final telephone call.

Good luck, enjoy your flying, I will still be lurking in the background,

and most importantly, fly safe, triple check your preflight, and don't become complacent. Don't take chances, remember short runways, heavy weights, high altitudes, hot conditions, bad weather, high winds, low fuel, low level flying and bad maintenance should be avoided at all costs.

One of Gregs posts at the time of Georges accident indicated that he may stop flying. It was a very emotional time for all of us, and I had hoped that his feelings toward aviation would change in time.

Thanks Greg for all of the assistance you have given all of us on various topics.
