Enough to get the old heart a pumping - I still recall it like yesterday.

Be careful on high speed taxi - always make certain you and aircraft are ready for flight - even unintended flight. Some folks advocate NOT doing high speed taxi test due to increased risk during that phase. I recall one accident - where individual had not removed control locks - because he was not going to fly, only do taxi test, well he unintentionally lifted off - fortunately only damage to the airplane. I know you won't do that, David, but just be prepared for flight in any case.

Good luck
