Rick M. Posted November 21, 2020 Report Posted November 21, 2020 Moved back to PBG about 18 months ago after many years and haven’t flown much since the move. Just did my IPC and am renting a 172 locally for approaches etc. prior birds were 182q & a share of a citabria. Thinking a Mooney is next given occasional legs to FL panhandle and Western NC. Have 900+ hours but only a few Mooney hours and I always enjoyed how they flew and the speed/efficiency. Thought I’d ask if the old club at F45 was still around or if anyone in the area might consider taking me up as a safety pilot or for a short hop or two while I try to get a handle on which model and where to keep her. I’m looking for a safety pilot too in the 172 (F45) if any interest there. more than happy to offer gas, lunch, post flight whiskey etc as a thank you. Apologies if too forward, but I thought I’d give it a shot. best regards, rick Quote
carusoam Posted November 21, 2020 Report Posted November 21, 2020 Welcome aboard, Rick! There is a very forward thread around here regarding favored beverages of established aviation gentlemen... +1 for the mention of sharing flight expenses... a standard of the industry... Saturdays are interesting around here... many are out flying, but everyone checks in sooner or later... Best regards, -a- Quote

I do have an M20F based out of F45 and would be happy to take you for a flight one day. Quote
