Greetings Van's Fanatics
I will be in Florida near Jupiter and West Palm doing some work on my documentary March 8-17.
See: http://www.vansairforce.com/community/showthread.php?t=37937
Looking for some "Local Van's Action". Open to suggestions - and as always - joy rides.
I will also be shooting a segment with a local competitive aerobatics champion and either his Sukhoi or Extra March 10th-13th. We have a 152 available for the air-to-air, but something with a canopy more like an RV will certainly work a lot better. Any experienced formation flyers interested in helping out???
Finally, this trip will take me away from my flight training for a good three weeks (I have other work in FL on either side of the aviation stuff). I have been progressing quickly toward my PPL. Started in December, first solo in January, passed my FAA written last week (93% with three brain-farts and a guess) and made my first cross country a couple of days ago. I don't want to shut down training completely, and I'd like to gain some new and useful experience if at all possible. Since I'm still deciding between building a 9 or a 9A, and tail dragger training is hard to come by in the winter in MN, I'm hoping to get a few practical hours in a ground-looper while in FL. The only time I've ever been in a tail-dragger was back in college - and I left the aircraft prior to landing each time we flew. Suggestions near Jupiter Farms (just north of West Palm) would be appreciated.
Thanks to all for your encouragement and support!
