Cross Country Ferry Pilot Needed (RV-3B)
I'm looking for someone to ferry my plane across the country later this month or early June. The sooner the better! I have someone tentatively scheduled for the second week of June, but their schedule is extremely tight and I fear the weather could become an issue. So its a literal cross country - KPTW to KCCR. Philly to San Francisco in an RV-3B. If I had more than 30 tailwheel hours and a bit more experience in the weather I would do it myself. I cant remember the last time I saw a cloud while flying here in SF. Anyway, if you're available, experienced, and not looking to break my wallet, give me a call or email. 215-421-0336 rph142@gmail.com.
Thanks!

The minimum number of planes one should own is one. The correct number is n+1, where n is the number of planes currently owned. This equation may also be re-written as s-1, where s is the number of planes owned that would result in separation from your partner.

Not saying you should, but...
I had under 200 hrs in a 172n and about 8 hours (official) of transition training on a -6 before flying to Boise to pick up a new to me -4. I flew it to West Yellowstone, Moab, cedar City and back home to South FL that first trip. Spent a week doing it and I wouldn't trade, let alone pay someone to have done it for me in a million years unless I had a really good and desperate reason
Just saying.

Ferry Pilot
You may want to check with this guy. He brought my RV-6 from Sacremento to Louisiana for me nd I was very pleased. Very professional, easy to work with, and very reasonable.

RV-3 experience
Rob, I let a good friend of mine know about this trip. I have flown with him in all of my RV's and he has ferried one of my RV-8's from out east. I believe he has darn near as much time in my RV-3B as I do and has flown just about everything everywhere. He would do a great job for you, look for Greg Goins to be contacting you.

I can vouch for Steve (tullypilot).
I've watched him fly and flown next to him for years. He's flown a number of rvs, and owned two -3s that I know about. I've also seen him ferry airplanes ranging from a spezio tuholer to Merlin turboprops.
I'd let him ferry my -8 without hesitation.

Steve Flattum also delivers RVs. He has around 20,000 hours in almost a hundred types. He has done first flights on at least a dozen RVs and he helped me transition into my RV-10. As an airline pilot, he gets to travel for free, so he's usually able to deliver airplanes at very low cost. Feel free to give him a ring; 815-519-3087.
