Anyone interested in ferrying a 170?

Hi all,

Well, my much awaited cross-country trip to Iowa/Nebr was cancelled due to low ceilings over the smoky mountians near TN and rain/snow showers through Ohio/In (and me being a VFR type of guy.)

I'm deploying next week and would like to know if anyone is interested in ferrying the plane from it's current location in Norfolk, Va to it's new hangar in Blair, Nebraska. If you're up for a little cross country and have some time, I'd like to chat with you. My brother is a 2200 hr CFI/MEII and would probably love to tag along (yes, he's not TW qual'd...hmmm...I told him to do it a long time ago!!!)

Thanks, Chris

I would love to, but I am way out here in Oregon. I had a 1953 170B for 11 years and 835 hours logged in it. I am retired an all I do is try to find reasons to fly my Cessna 182. Bob

I'd wouldn't mind doing some ferrying. I just got back from a 21 day grand canyon expedition and wouldn't mind getting back out of dodge. I'm in NY not too far from VA. I PMed my cell number to you. Mike

Seconded on what 58Skylane said. I can't keep spiders and bots from collecting phone numbers and emails that are out in the open. Best practice is to exchange that info via PM.

Programs and scripts that run 24/7 gleening data from websites, forums, etc that look for structured content in the form of patterns like ***-***-**** would usually indicate a phone number and *@*.com, *@*.org, *@*.net, etc. would be an email addy. They put them all together into databases for use by spammers and other cyber miscreants.

Bottom line, anything posted anywhere on the net might as well be posted on a freeway billboard.
