It is a great place to find local airplanes. Visiting diners sounds more time consuming then just checking online ads Quote Which end of Seattle are you in?

Why ? I have seen a lot of people take flying lessions , solo and then stop flying and never return. One of the reasons of buying for me is saving on rental. My wife and one of my friends are going to the same school. By the time we all go to solo, we would spend (combined) about 10K for rentals only. Buying and sharing expenses sounds like a better choice to me. Is there a catch that I do not see? --- Alexander Alexander

Well kept plane with low time airframe and engine. I saw that one and I would buy that a plane if it was closer to Seattle. 1500+ miles sounds way too far... Alexander

Alexander, Most of us in the club know how frustrating it is to filter through plane after plane after plane, trying to find the right pearl. Personally and I'm sure most members agree, I would not let mere geography be a wedge. For the right plane, it's nothing more than an inconvenience. The proper do dilligence still can and needs to be done and getting the plane out there can be done......we have our ways, just ask Ed. Jim Cessna 150/150, N2259M - Mighty Mouse
