trying to pay it forward

[ryan1234]

I don't know if anyone wants to ride along on ferry flights... perhaps build some hours, experience, whatever... but I'm taking a single engine Cessna from Ohio to Puerto Rico on Tuesday (depending on weather, etc)... the trip will take probably about 2 days total, stopping in FL, Bahamas, Turks, etc. The only thing you'd really pay for are your meals and airfare back from PR. If flying over decently large amounts of water in single engine airplanes scare you or you can't swim - this may not be the trip for you.

PM me if you want to go. The only "requirements" would be having a current passport and not being wanted by the FBI, and having a Pilot Certificate of some measure.

Hopefully this will help people who need currency and/or hours.

Where in OH are you departing from?

Wow! What a great opportunity for someone to experience a real cross country. What airplane are you taking down?

I think it's a 172, and after that a 421

Idea of the timeframe for the 421?

That's pretty awesome man. It's cool that you open this up for others. I'd love to join you sometime in the future!


Thanks for paying it forward!

Not sure yet, no dates have been set in stone - usually it's pretty short notice.

No problem - a lot of people have went out of their way to help me. (I guess that's paying it back?). Hopefully maybe more people will open up empty legs or trips for those trying to gain experience and/or time, currency, etc

That is awesome that you are doing this. I wish I didnt have a test and a paper due next week.

[Italianaviator]

Thanks man for the offer to all of us but I won't be able to make it on this one. Hopefully someone deserving will be able to benefit from it

The seat is filled up. It's this Tuesday... but all of the people that PM'd me, I'm going to try to fit into upcoming trips. It would be nice if any of the other part 91 single pilot guys, or other ferry pilots could do the same!
