I've been reading the forums for a while now but haven't formally introduced myself. Nice to meet everyone!
My wife and I live in Oakland, CA and we keep our E55 at Hayward. I learned to fly in Albany NY in 2002. I got my multi and instrument ratings in Virginia. Eventually made my way to California and we've been in NorCal since about 2010.
I bought our Baron in Feb 2020, flew it across the country from NC to CA, and then put about 200 hours on it in the first year, which was awesome! Luckily my wife loves to fly with me. So we've taken the Baron on trips to Tahoe, Bozeman, Yellowstone, LA, Shelter Cove and a few other CA day trips. I've also been doing a bunch of flights for Angel Flight West. Unfortunately, the plane had a nightmarish first annual so it's been down since November. Hoping to have it back in a few weeks with a bunch of fixes and shiny new props.
We're expecting a baby boy this June! So my next post will likely be to ask questions about flying with a baby. We're planning to do our first family cross country (literally from CA to NY) next November or December. Look forward to interacting with you all, and maybe meeting up soon!
