So, feeling frustrated today, I thought I'd throw this out there...
How long did it take you in your search for an aircraft to purchase? I've been actively looking for "my first" since December, and still no dice.
/Rant on/ I've bounced back and forth between models, reevaluated my mission needs about 200 times, calculated my budget almost as often... Laid down half of a ASU twice now for an annual-based prebuy on different planes, each time finding unpleasant surprises I wasn't willing to live with. The rep at AVEMCO I'm dealing with is going to start charging me for his fax service /rant off/
I've been looking for a nice Cessna 170B with a basic IFR panel, but can't seem to catch one. So I wrestle with settling for a 172, which would make my search easier and my insurance cheaper, but won't allow me to do what I would like to do up here about 33% of the time.
