Looking for Rentals, Share, or Rides in South Florida

Post by Jon.Gilbert »

I am a 240 hour pilot with a few hours in taildraggers, and I am looking to get an endorsement and transition my flying over to a classic older plane. I love C-170's and would prefer to get instruction in one if possible.

Even better would be to find a share that I could buy into. This would have to be somewhere close to me here in Jupiter, FL just north of West Palm Beach.

Of course I would be happy to just ride around and share expenses if amenable.

Any suggestions on where I might find an instructor and plane or an available share?

Thanks much.

Jon, I have a 170B which I keep at North Perry airport, Hollywood, FL.
I'll be glad to take you for a flight. My instructor rating is expired so I can't give you an endorsement and won't check you out but can give you an introduction to the 170. It's a great airplane.
You're probably close to North County Airport so I could pick you up there if you like.
