Yet another new member.

Post by cessnadog »

Hi all, my name is Tim and I’m in SE Minnesota. I’ve been in a flying club and partnership for several years but have decided a 120/140 will be my jump into sole ownership of an airplane. I’m really driven this direction for a few reasons. First, I’ve wanted to join the tail wheel cult for many years. Second, my 13 year old daughter has really become more interested in flying and for whatever reason has also latched onto the idea that a tail wheel is the way it should be. I want to stoke that passion, and a 120/140 would be a great way to hook her now and also get her ticket in when the time is right.

Ideally I am looking for fabric wings and an O-200. Radios and transponder would be a plus. Don’t need a show plane but would be willing to pay for what I am getting

I’m watching the market right now, if anyone knows of any aircraft for sale in the Midwest I would love to hear about them!
