I'd like to have my own airplane someday soon, and am looking for advice on the best way to go about that. I am currently about half-way finished with Air Force pilot training. I earned my PPL before joining the Air Force and had about 80 hours before starting pilot training. I would guess I have about another 75 or so in the T-6 for a grand total of around 150+ hours and counting. By the time I finish pilot training, I should have about 250.

After reading a lot on this site, I'm really interested in owning an RV. However, I have never had the opportunity of flying one. My favorite models as of now are the 8 and the 10. I like the fact the 8 can turn upside down. But I also have a family of four, so the 10 sounds like fun cross country time to visit family back home.

Here are my questions. How much could I expect to pay for insurance on either of these models with my respective time (no tail wheel time as of yet)? Also, is there anyone near Enid Oklahoma with an 8 or 10 that would be willing to take me up so I can get acquainted with how an RV flies? Of course I'll foot the bill for the gas.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I'm in P flight in the 33rd. And if I don't get an offer before than, I may make the trip to Vegas for a ride in six months. I am originally from Utah, so that's entirely possible. Thanks for the offer.
