Hello,
I am a perspective buyer probably in the next 1-2 years (hopefully sooner!) and am starting my research on what route would be best from my family and mission and am excited to search through the forums and learn all I can.
A little about myself I have been flying airplanes since high school and back then I got my HP endorsement in an A36 and just loved that airplane. I also spent 8 years in the Army as an attack helicopter pilot flying AH64s and deployed a couple times to Afghanistan. Now, I work air cargo flying 767s and will be moving back over to 121 passenger flying next month at my destination airline.
Thanks for having me,
Nick

Thanks James, I have a few lol. I will be sure to check them out as well. I was leaning towards an older 4-5 seater to start out with as a first plane but my wife said we don't need a starter and should just get a twin so I'm looking into the 55 Barons, but like probably everyone else the operational/upkeep cost difference is what I really am looking to research. Hey Kurt, planning to keep it at CPK or PVG. Will be up in your neck of the woods at least a few times of the year for short work commutes for her.
