MaddogK's journey to El Dorado

[MaddogK]

After a lost battle with a bottle of Tequila and a couple Dominican cigars, and a quick refresher course in HTM document creation compiling an event checklist for Gregoriu Alexandru's neat little kneeboard widget I believe I'm ready to start the engines on this beautiful old C-82 packet I so rarely get to fly.

OK, now that dinner is being absorbed and wife is glued to NJ trash TV I have time to try this again, same as above.

After a rather uneventful flight realized the A/P didn't fully disengage. Luckily it only cost me a few minutes of time and some fuel for a go-round.
