Ferry Pilot Needed

Well George, I could have looked it up in my 2-3 year old FAR. However, that document is packed away along with my other aviation/non aviation books. Probably packed them too quickly. I don't guess I have ever tried to look up any FAR's on the internet. Maybe they reside there as well

Thanks George. I have bookmarked that for future reference. The main reason I don't often try to read things in the FAR is that it takes forever to find things in there. Its just too slow and of course the reason is its RED. Maybe it goes a lot faster on line and I am sure it would in print if they put a GREEN cover on it
