Any thoughts about flying through the Middle East, Iranian airspace, etc.?

Many years ago as college graduate just into my first job, I had "value" transportation. A Dodge K car. It was speed limited to 65 MPH. No computer coding needed. It just wouldn't go any faster. :cool:

You were technically MVFR at that airport. Ceiling between 1000 and 3000, visibility 3 to 5 statute miles.

This is a sign - go but one.

You mention more speed and hauling capacity, but most comments are about your father/passenger loading. I have a 182P, and wife is "non tall" person who doesn't get in as easily as I do. Forgive if this is something you did years ago, but have you gotten a small foldable stool / step ladder?

Yes

Hang in there !

The wind on the ground is a little over 100 mph, which is almost above Va. That’s sobering.

Sarasota. Yikes.

Does the previous owner know ?

Denton? I thought the hippies hung out in Austin?

Here are some new TX residents orientation videos you’ll find useful. https://tv.movie/show/walker-texas-ranger?utm_source=Google&utm_medium=Search&t_source=64&utm_campaign=2742&wbraid=ClMKCAjw6oi4BhBfEkMAEbrBp5BSGw4H41YhfKUnNrYsC-oixByIIa_xYazpBfsLyBna_N8J3hOVdFkALARvznk0eh1YBlKwfBKvmw_NT9ZwGgKDkQ

As stated in above post, the entire plane is suspect. An AI would be hesitant to sign off on that IMHO. So high of a chance that something is going to be missed by virtue that there are just so many things wrong. Sounds like a good candidate for a part out.

Congrats! Your sled dog co pilot should have a great time in his new home.

I working up the idea that I’ll have my local mechanic check/ re rig things per the book as a stop gap, get things better. Make an appointment a year out to get the “rigging guru” to do the precise rigging.

You adjust the thrust line of the engine with engine mounts???

Sounds possible with a good A&P. I’m becoming smarter about working with mechanics though. Some are good at xyz, but for abc you want to go somewhere else. For example I declined working with an avionics shop about a GFC 500 autopilot install because the guy has never done one. But...

Must be a popular topic. I found a shop in TN that specializes in rigging. They are taking appointments - one year out. No, not kidding. The shop in TX, John at Cessna Rigging according to posts above isn’t even returning calls. Yikes - and I thought avionics shops were backed up.

Well then there is that …….

Unless (and this will never happen) you have to input a non suspended license number to buy fuel, there is no barrier. And that doesn’t cover whether or not you’re up to date on flight reviews.
