It was told as a reason not to do fly low over people's houses for too long because they might start calling the FAA or even shooting at you.

Yea, I forgot about where he got shot in the leg. I didn't know you could still rent it as MillionAir went out of buisness years ago as I understood it. At least their hangar wasn't there anymore before I moved to Indy in '97. A side note about the guy who shot the plane... He was a millionaire. But because he was psycho, he never had his house rebuilt, he kept his money literally buried in jars all around his yard, and supposedly had to scare away "treasure hunters" who he thought was "charlie".

I'm just glad someone could verify the story because everyone always thinks i'm a fibber when I tell the story! LOL

Hope you can get things worked out and keep us informed on what works for you. I know it's gotta be hard doing the preflight let alone in the aircraft...

The leg is the place I heard he was shot at too. Yeah, MillionAir is definitely not there anymore, but the plane was suppose to be owned by somebody else now and not at Evansville anymore, someplace like Washington or or other smaller airport. Can't remember where it was claimed to be at. It's been 7 years or so since I heard the story.

On the carrying method front I've been doing a lot of research on AIWB carry although I might need to loose a some pounds to do it.

Just wanted to let you guys know that I've been AIWBing with a cheap leather holster and it works really well for my purposes. I have a FIST K4 on order, it rides a little higher so I may have to loose a few more pounds for it not to print but overall I must say AIWB is very fast and doesn't cause problems for my situation YMMV

If you're interested in a pocket holster, take a look at the DeSantis Nemesis. The exterior has kind of a tacky texture while the interior is smooth promoting the situation where the holster stays in the pocket on the draw. Works pretty well.
