Hello from PA!

[railroadjack]

Hello all, my name is Jack. I've been a private pilot since April of this year. I fly out of Wings Field in Blue Bell, PA. I learned in a C172S, but now I mostly fly SR20's as the school I rent from only has one 172 left on the line. Looking forward to reading and chatting, and hopefully getting to know some more local pilots.

Welcome that's an awesome plane than sr20 never flown in it yet but from what I read and see. Did it take you long to get used to the glass cockpit?

Hey jack welcome to POA. I live about 1.5 miles from wings. We have a good size group of POAers in the area and have a big POA flyin at LOM every spring. Who was your CFI?

Hi Jack. Don't say that too loud around TSA.

Welcome, Jack! Hope to meet you at the next Wings FlyBQ! Hook up with Adam Z and the Garys and the others out of KLOM, they're good folks.

Welcome, Jack...I grew up in the area and went to school in Fort Washington...now live in Atlanta, but hope to fly myself into Wings one day. Enjoy your addiction - eh, sorry - time here.

No, not long at all. The Garmin Perspective and Avidyne are both nice systems. I prefer the Garmin, but the Avidyne plane is cheaper to rent. They're both pretty straightforward to read. Information overload can become a problem, though!

Todd Newberry was my CFI. Great guy. I think we've met before, Adam. I was working line service at the FBO up until the end of November.

Thanks for the welcome, everyone!
