This is a contest to see which forum gets me the better deal....

I currently have a job that doesn't have me flying a whole lot, and I would like to have the ability to fly for my own enjoyment, mostly trips in Invermere to visit family. I'm also a few night XC hours shy of an ATPL, so it would have to be capable of night flight (I do not want to take it over the rocks at night). Preferably something with a tiny engine, 1-2 seats. Based at any of the surrounding airports around YYC.

I've got around 5k hours, most of which was done in Canada, some in Vietnam and Botswana. Mostly bush flying and a combination of wheels and floats. I've done the single pilot IFR thing for a thousand or so hours, some two crew stuff in medevac operations, I've flown retractables and have yet to leave them up (or down for the amphibs) on landing, and now I work in a unique niche of the industry.

I'd also welcome company when I'm flying around, no need to contribute to costs, grab me a coffee or something and we'll call it square (this is more geared towards people working on their PPL or CPL who want to jump in the cockpit, I don't think you can log the time, but you might learn something)

Anyways if anybody has a small aircraft in this neck of the woods, shoot me a pm and we'll see what we can arrange.

Cheers,

E

5000 hours and no ATPL. That must have been hard to do?!  Hope you find someone

Very easy to do when you have zero desire to fly for an airline....

Actually, that's pretty common with survey guys.
