Company: Equity Management Assocates.
Aircraft: Barron B55
Checkin in to say hello.

Larry Lepard, located in Boston. Currently flying an A36 and just picked up a B55.

Pilot for 18 years, 600 hours, IFR, recreational, probably cannot add much compared to the experienced crew here, but wanted to say hello. Grew up flying around the midwest in my father's V tail, Debonair, A36 and then Baron. Got hooked. Love aviation for the views and the freedom. Have a big yellow streak running down my back.

Picture of the B55 is attached.

PS: Big thanks to Larry Olson of this forum for his wealth of knowledge on these planes and very generously sharing the same with me. LL

All,

Brother Larry and I had a great talk about flying..... Barons, and such today. I was impressed with his knowledge and questions regarding operation and having the "right" plane. I hope I could contribute thoughts that were on the right path.....

We didn't include Daryl in the conversation... <g>....

I'm sure we have folks on this forum that can offer other and better thoughts about what he wants to do, goals, etc. to put him in the "best" flying situation.

Welcome Larry - Great looking B55. Where in the Midwest did you grow up? Since you grew up out this way, you wouldn't even need a visa to come visit....Bill

Thanks. I grew up in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Family had been there since 1840. Farmers, although my father was a businessman. He ran small retail businesses. Salt of the earth, not at all like the people who pull all the strings in the Eastern corridor.

Kind of hard to lie when you operate in a small town.

Andrew here. 6B6 is my main strip with KBED a close second. I've been looking at aircraft for purchase for about a year. Recently upgraded from PA28 to flying an M20C (rental) but I've flown in an A35 and am now fairly convinced that the Bo is for me. I'd love to hear more about your experience in researching aircraft as I'm feeling overwhelmed at all the tradeoffs.
