New to Forum from Franklinton NC. My father and I have been partners in a 1980 C23 Sundowner 180 ("Mattie") for almost a year. I live in Franklinton Nc. and he lives in Ga. We absolutely love our plane and are planning a life long dream of our first trip to Oshkosh!

Welcome fellow Sundowner owner. It's great having you - maybe we can meet up sometime and swap Sundowner stories. I've only owned mine since February and will be taking my PPL check ride in her soon.

Peace,
Don

Welcome Byron!
We will see you in KOSH later this year.
Went up there last year for my first time in my friends SR22 to see what it was like. We downloaded all the info, reserved a spot at the FBO, etc. was fun: flying the route, being in the pattern with a gazillion other planes, landing beyond the dot on the runway and get out of there quickly. The Le Mans style start at the end of the day was a hoot.
Last year, before I had my Bo, it cost me several AMU's in goodies. This year I'm taking my BO. I have been exercising my plastic in preparation..... :sad:
:crazy: its going to be bad, I can feel it already....

Nice looking plane and family. If you're ever near the Raleigh area or TTA in Sanford look me up. I base my 79 Sundowner, N6699S, at TTA.

Thanks for all the welcoming comments. Bill ill look u up if I'm ever at tta. And yes Gary my youngest daughter is my flying buddy. She was my first offical passenger after I got my ticket. Strapped the car seat in the 172 I trained in. My wife had a fit!!! But little one still loves to go. Bet she will never remember the first video game we played but she'll always make sure she sits up front as daddy's co pilot.

Byron,

Welcome! Nice plane.

Keep the kids flying. Our two boys flew with us from Indiana to Tucson when they were one and three years old (this was in 1981). Strapped in the car seats and went. Had a great trip and flew with them alot.

Welcome Byron!
I'm just a bit southwest down the road in Clemson, SC. I too am going to OSH for the first time this summer. Can't wait :woot: Plan to tie down and camp in the north 40.
