NC is a great distance and I am having trouble locating a contact near there that can offer Grumman specific inspection services. I have a call into Fletchair to see if they can make a recommendation.
Maybe someone here has a contact. Really needs to be someone that knows their way around the Grummans. I would like to avoid having to fly a guy out there if I can. I don't have Ron Levy's contact info so if someone wants to PM that to me, I will ping him as well.
 
Was wondering WTF you've been! Especially with the election going on.

I still can't figure out how to use that website. I have looked at all three predominant Grumman web sites and I think they're all Frozen in Time in the eighties somewhere.

One is an actual form which is completely dead. I posted on it a few months ago and there have been no responses. The other one is some sort of weird website that sends you a newsletter full of people's conversations but I have no idea where the conversations are happening it is not like a forum where you can type questions and get responses.
 
Make one of your videos and put it on there, that'll introduce them to 6PC and what they're in for! :rofl::rofl::rofl:
 
Can't help you with the prebuy, but if you need a CFI with Grumman time to help you bring it home, Give me a call.

The conversations are happening via email; the website is just an archive of those conversations. You email the list, everyone on the list gets your message, and people can elect to reply to you, either privately or via the list. Sounds like you subscribed to the digest version, where you get one big email containing all posts for that day.
 
Somone called? I can go take a look if you'd like. I know my way around an AA1 like the back of my hand. AA5 isn't that different. I think I've seen the one you may be looking at.
 
Gary at aucountry will travel I believe.

I just brought home my 78 Tiger from NJ. What are you looking at ?

Meh, I offended someone and was asked not to post non-aviation related content anymore. I will come here to pick up my mail and have fun somewhere else.

Bummer. :sad:

But, I do know what you mean. Almost didn't return myself.

Thanks for the referrals. A couple of the names mentioned have been echoed in local conversation this morning.
Looks like I have some good options.

that is horribly disappointing. disappointing that a couple of people are so easily offended by, well, absolutely nothing, to the point that it drives off a long standing, contributing, humorous, albeit coked out member of the forum. I guess squeaky wheels do get the grease.

as for the guy who recommended the guy at TTA......I don't know anything about that guy but u can't get much closer to the plane you're looking at than TTA. hopefully he's a good resource. I also PM'd you a local grumman owner's contact info, maybe he has some advice for you. my offer to go take a look at the plane still stands, it'll just have to wait until after this coming weekend.

Your humor would be missed around here. I hope everyone comes to their senses or this would be a pretty boring place.

It's the MC that needs to come to their senses.

They continually look the other way when bigoted and/or testonerone laden misogynistic comments are regularly made and yet come down hard on 6pc for a crayon drawing of a penis on the runway.

It's f***ing stoopid priorities. We've become the Puritans of America led by the Rev. Troy (I suspect).

It's really sad when the MC allows some puritan to run off the funniest MF'er here.

How is the butthurt his when he's specifically been asked to not post anything that's not aviation related? All he said is he'll go elsewhere to have fun...which is exactly what the MC has told him to do.

Although I agree 100%, ultimately it's their house, their rules. I've been banned twice now for what I'd consider petty ****. First time I prolly deserved it. Second time was really petty ****. If it happens again, I'll stay on Beechtalk where people actually know WTF they are talking about.

I come here for fun, relaxation and hangar banter. When that's done, so am I.
 
Might try Lou @ Flying Leaf - Asheboro, NC. Not sure how strong he is with Grumman, but he's good and detailed.

True dat. And, for the most part, I really don't care what the rules are. It's the inconsistency and randomness of the application thereof that I find distasteful.

It's going to be a very sad and boring day here when all the fun people are run off and all who remain are the puritan prima donnas.

Nope he sold it to another guy and went to work for some guy in Raleigh as a fleet manager. Cheri doesn't work at the airport anymore either. They have had three airport managers since Dan left. My family and I are good friends with the Swanson's.

Oh lighten up Francis, I was kidding. It always amazes me how one douche bag with a complaint can be so powerful here. I could do without looking at penis cartoons, but I didn't even see what you are talking about. If I had I would have just damned him under my breath and moved on, others should do the same.

Some need their safe space man..... Problem is they think anywhere they are automatically becomes their safe space.

Hopefully making America great again will drop kick Murphy them back into their pansy gardens with butterfly kisses and champagne dream zones where they can graze on delicious blade of grass with the rest of the sheeple. Baaaaaaa...........

Don't be so sure. We are moving towards being more intolerant of opinions/beliefs that are different. That's what "Making America Great Again" really means. It's all about building walls literally and metaphorically.

I enjoy a good penis cartoon. 6PC can you PM me some?

This post doesn't sound very tolerant or accepting to me, other then accepting a penis that is.
 
Well stop that movement. The rest of society is not moving in the same direction. We are out living our lives.

I dare ask. Where'd the Cirrus go, or are you doubling the fleet?

Keeping the Cirrus. This will be #2
This will be for putting around with the top down, dropping rubber chickens, easter eggs, etc.

Not sure what it means but I keep hearing all about something called "Hand flying an airplane" This one has one of those. So that will be fun to learn.

thank you for that aviation-related post. I am very un-offended by this post. although are you trying to imply that rubber chickens lay easter eggs? because that would clearly offend some people and would be a bannable offense.
