Hello all,
I'd like to introduce myself. My name is James. I'm a new member as of 1/1/17. I've been out of general aviation for a long while, but I'm diving back into it head first.
A little background on me, I started flying when I was 15. At first I would fly once every few weeks whenever I had earned/saved enough to take a lesson. Eventually, I spent a small fortune and had all my airplane ratings upto MEII, high performance, complex, tailwheel. Then I decided to go to college and get a "real job." The plan was that when I was financially secure I could get back into flying. As many of you can relate, that fabled financial security is elusive and I finally decided that if I continued to wait I might never get back into aviation.
So here I am! I've decided to buy a C150, to get my feet wet again, and build my confidence (I'm technically legal and my CFII is current, but I'm very rusty). I've been looking for a few months and have all my insurance, finance, due diligence in order. I have a few very good prospects. I've never owned an airplane, only rented, so I might need to tap the collective brain trust of this club.
I did most of my flying in Southern California, and a little in Phoenix, now I'm in Louisiana. If you're wondering about my username, its a reference to being a 2007 Arizona Sundevil.
Regards!
James
