Cool. Thanks Skunk. Bayou

From Vagabond's Thread: E. Limited-to-Center Thrust Limitation. 1) The military aircraft listed below have no VMC established by the manufacturer. Other military multiengine airplanes may exist now or in the future for which there is no published data on VMC.

I went to my FSDO today and also received my shinny new license. Very easy process.

It took them longer to get their printer to work than it did for the paperwork!!
