Hi guys, thanks for letting me join the group. I'm a student pilot located between San Antonio and Kerrville (Bandera if you know the area) with the goal of completing my PPL and then getting the instrument right after. My goal is to buy a 231, 252, Encore or Bravo and use it for travel so I (hopefully) never have to deal with commercial air travel again.
So here's my ask, is there anyone near this area with one of those models that would be willing to give me a ride? I'm planning to head over to GMax and start browsing but, sitting in a plane on the ground and actually being in the air in one are totally different experiences. Plus, it would be great to be able to be able to pick your brain about your experience with the plane, what maintenance has been like, and to hear from you what you wish you'd known to ask or look for when you were shopping.
I'm starting to look more seriously now so I'd really like to be able to experience a few different variations and make an informed decision.
I really appreciate anything someone can offer.
Bernie
