New to the Forum

Greetings All,
I'm a proud new Skymaster owner and new to the forum. I purchased her last November, and I finally brought my baby to southern Indiana on May 9th, after almost 6 months of trying to ferry her, and finally getting the annual done in Tennessee enroute (much longer story) from Tampa. I'm looking forward to meeting you folks at some point, and picking your brains for advice.
Fred

Welcome to the Skymaster forums! Congratulations on your purchase.

Please tell us about your airplane, and yourself. Year model?, avionics?, modifications?, got pics?

Hello,
I'm a C-130 guy for the most part (first active duty, now in the KYANG) and also UPS, but fell in love with the Skymaster after pilot training. My 337 is a D model from 1969, and apparently she spent most of her life down in Tampa. Just the basic stuff, with a lot of it being Terra radios. I'm basing it at Clark County (JVY) in southern Indiana, right across the river from Louisville. Here's a couple of pics.

Welcome to the site Fred. Very nice photos of the D model, air to air. Planning to attend OSHKOSH? It would be great to meet you and share some hanger talk. I am planning to fly the Cessna's 2 Oshkosh and they are looking for more Skymasters to join.

Congrats Fred....nice airplane! I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy mine. Stay tuned to this forum and read as much as you can from this forum. There is a lot of good information here and people are always willing to help solve any problems that you encounter. It has been very useful to me many times in the past and I am sure it will be in the future as well!

Good Luck

Ed
