Front Range Safety Pilot?

[0TreeLemur]

Hi everyone,

I'm visiting my son in Fort Collins for a couple of weeks.  My M20C is parked at GXY.   Looking at the weather for the return trip to Alabama next weekend (May 9th or 10th) the models predict widespread cloudiness mid-route where I'll need a fuel stop.   I lost IFR currency on May 1 and need to shoot a couple of practice approaches to regain currency.  Anybody in the area willing to fly as safety pilot some evening this week?

I'm fully vaccinated.

Thanks,

Fred

I could help you but you will have to fly down to KCFO since I am annualing my airplane.  I could do Wed. after 2:30 or Thursday.  You can text me at 303 886 4575.

If you don't get it done with @FoxMike I can probably help you any early evening, or I also have availability on Wed.

Let me know what day you want to fly. I am closer to KBJC if you want to hop down to Metro. A lot quicker than driving to GXY for me. Monday and Tuesday are probably no goes for me.

If all other options fall though, I'm relatively flexible Wednesday/Thursday/Friday.  Based out of KLMO, but can get to KGXY or KFNL if necessary.  I'm a CFII, if that makes a difference to you.

Thanks- I'll see what replies come in and try and firm up plans late Monday for later in the week.

Thanks.  You are closest so far.   I'll see who replies Monday and try to firm something up for mid to late week.

Thanks Paul.  It looks at this point that something will work out.

Thanks again to all who replied.  I think I've got a solution worked out.   MS is awesome.

I once thought about inflatable retractable floats for my Mooney :-)
