Hi everyone. I’m a low time Private Pilot in So Cal looking to get back in to flying. I got my certificate in 2007, but then immediately had to put everything on hold to build a career and a family. I have been searching for aircraft on the classified sites you all know about, without much luck. Prices on anything airworthy have become completely insane. I came here looking for a project or some way to scratch that flying itch without mortgaging my future. I’m an A&P that works on heavy jets, so I’m definitely willing and able to turn a wrench, but I don’t want a pile of corrosion or something that’s going to make me wish I never bought it. I chose this forum because I flew a Musketeer for the majority of my PPL training, and have always loved the Bonanza and especially the Baron. I hope I find something good here.

Welcome Paul! Good luck with you search- I'm sure finding something solid and affordable is a challenge, but you'll find the right one.
SoCal must be a great area to fly. Cheers!

Great to have someone with A&P skills and real-world flying passion here. You’re definitely in the right place, Bonanzas and Barons do show up, sometimes in surprising condition.

This is a very nice, always hangared corrosion free example with fresh engine and no AD prop conversion. For less than a decent Musketeer. viewtopic.php?f=43&t=243258
