Today I flew the Cherokee to Merritt Island to get the audio panel installed. After the normal preflight, I took off and flew to Merritt Island, flying around the Melbourne Class D airspace. After landing, I parked the plane outside Sebastian Communication. It was then that I realized that I left the audio panel and mounting bracket in the hangar. I briefly considered my options for getting the missing parts, then it occurred to me that I had access to a 'time machine'. I simply needed to fly back to Valkaria, get the parts, and fly back. So that's what I did.
When I arrived back in Merritt Island the second time, I went inside and let them know that I had arrived. They said they were ready to begin work, so we towed the plane to their workshop and moved it inside. I called Susan to see where she was, and she was already at the airport, ready to drive me back home.
