ARIZONA HELLO
Posted: Thu Mar 06, 2014 10:40 am
Hello from Casa Grande. AZ. Just moved here from Tucson to trade big city ways for a smaller community. I have been out of flying for over 20yr and until moving here had not missed it. Going to a local fly-in has generated a spark of interest in the idea of getting off the ground again. My flying was all done as a private pilot so was a significant expense in my modest life style. The kind of flying I enjoyed was low and slow. I owned a Cessna 185 which gave me a comforting horse power cushion when pilot proficiency was a little weak. I eventually equipped the plane with a set of amphibious floats but after flying into lakes and bays I realized water work did not appeal to me. My fantasy is....having a reliable engine'd aircraft capable of hauling 300 lb. for a period of 2-3 hours while I search out likely fly fishing waters and look for off airport landing sites to do some casual rock hounding and messing around. I just celebrated no. 78 and find myself relatively fit and active but do not want to try for a 3d class medical.
Forgive the rambling but just wanted to see if there was any group of like minded old duffers in my area who I could connect with to see if this itch has a chance to go forward.
Thanks,
