Hello all - I am a rusty pilot looking to get back into flying after a 15 year hiatus. Last aircraft i flew was a M35 Bonanza out of Tacoma Narrows (TIW). I was a partner in N9579R with a bunch of good folks.

Living in Southwest Colorado, waiting on the FAA to let me know the status of my medical which requires a special issuance due to Type II diabetes with oral meds.

I am looking to buy an airplane and am considering something like a Debonair, or V-tail Bonanza. I am also looking at Rockwell Commander 112TC and a 144 Hot Shot. I like a turbocharged engine will be a great advantage here since the airports are about 5200 ft. elevation.

Thanks in advance - Ron Workman
