Montana Pilots?

Hello:

I am a relatively new pilot in Montana (license for a year) who flies a Citabria 7 GCBC. I have been following thiw forum for awhile. I was just wondering if there are any pilots on this forum who are also from Montana.

I'm on the GF sectional as Hanson..private stip in front of my door :D .
There's a quite a pack of Pacer conversions over here and a few SC's. Right now everything I have is in pieces, but getting started back together this summer with my experimental Tcraft, I hope.

I am on my first plane. It's a 1976 Citabria 7GCBC. It flies great.

I received most of my instruction in a T-craft L2M, which was a good plane to learn in because it was pretty demanding on the rudders and seemed to be much easier to stall if not paying attention.

Yes, Mike was my instructor. I wanted to learn on a taildragger and he is the only one around here who instructs in one. I don't know if you know Mike, but I think he is a great instructor and pilot and I am convinced he could fly a toilet if he wanted to.

Never fly in the same cockpit with someone braver that you.

G squared:

Thanks. I will actually be in Bozo this weekend, but alas, won't have much time for flying talk. It's state soccer tournament and I am watching the kids' games and refereeing several others. Hoping to fly there if the weather holds.

I'm from Billings and fly a 64 S35 Bonanza. Sold my 182 last year. Take my Bo pretty much everywhere I landed my 182. Leaving next Thursday morning for Schafer and the annual work party.

Have fun up there... if you see a yellow and green Pacer, or a yellow and red Pacer with droop tips, walk over and introduce yourself. I take care of both airplanes and Perry and Paul are good friends.
