New Skymaster Owner

[Timcote1960]

Hi All,

Well, I've been lurking for years and finally got the instrument rating done, the seaplane rating done, 450hrs in the book on my 182 so at last ready for THE plane, a 1977 P337G previously owned by Rod Teel N639GC. I will be keeping her on a tie down in Gaithersburg MD until I can get a new paint job (suggestions anyone?) and a hanger within 45min of my DC home.

This week I fly up to NH to get my ME rating and complete a course satisfactory to my insurer. Then I've got to burn an additional 15hrs of fuel solo before the insurer will let me take my wife (Puerto Rico?, Cuba?, Corpus Christi?). Excited to bond with the machine---POH is my current book of the month.
