I've been lurking for several months, just trying to get the lay o' the land. Sent a couple of PMs. Now feeling like it's time to do the official intro. This forum seems to be a pretty amazing place. Lots of wisdom, lots of generosity.

Sorry to hear of the loss of such a standout member this last week. Definitely found myself "sapping", reading the 16 pages of tributes, and some of his own words.


Anyhow - here's a pic of Mt Shasta and my favorite rental, a Piper Dakota. I live in California. This is me and my daughter doing "daddy camp" last summer. If you saw us today you might not realize we're related as she has been wearing braces for the last 8 months and the family resemblance is fading...

Oh, and I plan/hope to get myself into a v35 P/S or thereabouts, at some point here... Just trying to figure out how to make it all work.

Welcome Jeremy! Looks like you've got a dream... You'll find lots of people on this site willing to do help you make it a reality.

Tell us what you want to do, and where you'd like to go in your own airplane.

Welcome out of lurking mode, Jeremy!

Hope you're read all the posts on "trolling"...

35's make my heart stop, but the 36 was more practical for my mission profile...

Hope you find your dream bird!

Doc

Welcome. I assume hilariously named town in CA is Weed?

Yep, Weed, Ca. - right next to Shasta. My daughter and I kept cracking up as we went around the pattern: "Dakota three eight bravo entering right downwind for one-four. WEED."

I guess I could have been more generous with aviation details:
    about ten years flying (and 20 years before that playing with simulators and dreaming)
    coming up on 400 hours
    fresh instrument rating, still quite green in this regard
    about 100 high performance (in 182/dakota)
    about 50 tailwheel in a 7ECA
    two and a half hours of complex in a 172RG (this is the current project)
    I do a rating or a BFR or an endorsement every year typically, rather than bi-yearly. Trying to keep out of the newspapers.

I haven't yet flown in a Bonanza but have always loved the way they are put together. Particularly love the V-tail but just the general "grunt" of the thing really gives me a good feeling. The term "brick sh__house" comes to mind... But still quite graceful.

Would like something with mountain capabilities (otherwise you can't get out of CA...),
and I am overweight, so having a big motor and some useful load is attractive to me. Helps getting up to altitude, and especially if I want to carry more than one other person.
I feel like tooling around at 130 knots is starting to feel a little slow, would love to crank that up a notch.

I have a pretty good job doing visual effects for movies. But I'm not a rich man and I have school expenses for my daughter, so I'm not going to be buying anything that isn't 40 years old...

Thus I've ended up looking mostly for S model V-tails, and P model as a less-gross-weight option...

But the whole thing is a bit of stretch even so, and I'm nervous I'll get a "lemon" with a intergranular-corrosion-riddled spar or something, and have thrown 40,000 in the garbage bin. That would NOT impress my wife...

Oops! Wrong verb, thanks for pointing that out! I've been LURKING for a couple of months. I am NOT into trolling! In fact, I often describe myself as having a pathological-sincerity problem...

Thanks for the welcome even though I botched the first sentence, Doc.

:)

Welcome to BT. My plane is down for avionics upgrade now but I hope to have it in the air again soon. Where do you fly out of?

There is a "Perpetual Northern California" thread somewhere that revives itself when some N Calif. pilot is dying of hunger and needs a $100 hamburger fix <grin>. I haven't gone on one yet but I do know a few of the pilots who post on that thread

Funny - I fly out of San Carlos mostly, PAO sometimes. But I was just thinking I would try to find out more about CA35, especially if I'm trying to buy a plane. It's not quite clear what it takes to be part of the club there from the website... But it seems like a great little airport.

I'm in San Francisco when I'm grounded.
