For the last 3 and a half years my family and I have been living in Okinawa Japan. I always loved keeping in touch with what was happening on backcountrypilot.org. I would comment when I could but mostly I just enjoyed seeing all of the awesome adventures and couldn't wait to get back and take part myself.

At the end of June my family moved back to the states and by the end of July we were moving into our new place in Fort Worth. I immediately set about the business of finding an airplane to spend everything I had been saving for since before leaving for Japan.

Today I purchased my first ever airplane, N9077A. She is a 49 Cessna 170A. Her paint is worn and the interior neglected but she is all mine! I'm based out of Hicks airfield in west Fort Worth and can't wait to get to know any of you in the area and meet up at future fly ins.

Safe flying!

Congratulations on the plane Dizzle!!

Excellent! Congrats on your 170!

Great news and well done mate!

Sweet! looking forward to the pictures

Congrats and welcome back!!!
Paint and interior don't make a plane fly better. THese things are easy fixes and a lot of it can be done yourself with approved materails.

I spent 5 years in Oki! Miss that place at times. The military community there is probably the tightest knit of any place I was ever at.

Well, I thought I deleted this post because the picture link was bad. I reposted this morning with a picture attached. Just realized this was still up! Oops.
