Hello everyone,
I want to say thank you to admin for letting me in!
My name is Andrew and I am a 23 year old private pilot. I got my license at 19 and have been doing recreational flying since. I have around 250 hours. I fly out of KHWO and I mainly fly a Cessna 172M. I have recently become very fond of the V tails and would love to get my hands on one when I get the capital to do so.
Only thing really stopping me from getting an early model is the 5800 Avemco quoted me. I need 100 hours in type and model but I know no one with one. Maybe I will get lucky and someone can help me out who knows.
A little more about me, I got my BBA with a double major in Marketing and Logistics and Supply Chain Management. Last month I just graduated with my MBA in Logistics at Florida International University.
I'm also a brother of Zeta Beta Tau, Eta Rho.

Looking forward to hearing from you all!

Welcome Andrew,

I learned to fly at Tamiami Airport in 93' and bought my G35 Bonanza as a 200 hr PPL while living in Pensacola. Hang out here, meet the guys and learn as you go.

Welcome! Start offering to safety pilot for your local Bo pilots. Encourage them to improve their proficiency.

Welcome! I agree, find a group at the airport and offer to jump in on some flights. Maybe offer to pitch in on some fuel to get that extra time.

Don't try to pass yourself off as a Hollywooder when it's Hollywood, FL. ;)

Welcome and good luck! WhenI was building time I met every plane owner I could and ended up washing planes, flying right seat, and even got a good job out of it with a 182 owner named Ron Hill. Fantastic guy! I still miss his stories. We did some repo work together. He was 6’ 6”, a retired Marine, and larger than life when he wanted to be but really quiet most of the time.

Welcome Andrew!

Great goal to own a Beechcraft! I admired them when I got my private and thought I would never be able to afford one. The reality is if you’re willing to learn how to jump in and do some work it will be rewarding and save you money at the same time. Find a shop willing to let you do owner assisted annuals. I wish I had taken the beech plunge much sooner!

As mentioned insurance will probably be the biggest hurtle. Great advice here on building time.

Jeff
