Looking for 337 plane ride
 
My wife and I have settled on getting a Cessna 337 in a year and half after we sell some property. I have a friend that is a I.A. and he has flown them. I'm a pilot and A&P. I have not flown in a 337 but feel that it would fit our needs. We live in Pensacola, Florida and would love to pay the fuel and dinner for a flight in a 337. If someone within a couple hundred miles would fly us around for an hour that would be awesome. We have family in Orlando so in Orlando area would be great too. I'm leaning toward pressurized.

I'm in a suburb of Toronto, Canada. Come on up and I'll happily take you around the patch.

Most of those views come from search robots, not people.

thanks red air. You guys are getting closer. I do have family in Jonesboro, AR. so in the northeast Arkansas and Memphis Tennessee area would work too.

Ft Pierce
 
My C337D is based in Ft Pierce KFPR. I'd be glad to give you a ride if we can coordinate schedules.

That is tempting Jerry but the 1000 miles and cold weather is the only thing stopping. lol

When you're in Orlando you might contact the guys over at Titusville airport, @ Airscan. Their facility is very secure but they would probably take you on a ride they have some very nice airplanes, when you contact them tell them your an A&P
They probably won't take you one of these secure surveillance
aircraft but they have others around there

Thanks general, I will contact them and hopefully they will be open to taking us for a ride. I'm not sure exactly how to ask them but I will.

337 Ride
 
If you ever make it to Northern Ohio I'll take you up in my '68 337C.

likes2fly 11-18-17 08:36 AM

thanks tomehill for the offer but I doubt we make it up your way anytime soon. Definitely keep you in mind though.

P337g
 
When you get ready to purchase a Press. Skymaster, contact me. I am nearing the end of my flying career and will be selling N34EC. It is loaded: air cond., spoilers, turbo charged, inter coolers etc. I owned this plane over 20 years.

Cheers
Jerry

Hi,
I'm replying to your August 2017 post on the Skymaster website and wanted to see if I could pay you to take me for a flight in your 337 (or I guess technically pay for gas, plus consulting to keep the FAA happy!) and maybe buy you lunch so I could get your opinion and thoughts on the Skymaster. I live on Sugarloaf Key - down by Key West, and lost my Piper Arrow in Irma. I was already tempted to sell the Piper and possibly buy a Skymaster, but now I'm "planeless" so a little more motivated. I have never even ridden in one; just admired them on the ramp and read everything I can get my hands on about them. Unfortunately, there's not one located down here, so I haven't been able to get any real world experience in them.
Hope to hear from you,
Thanks,
Nate

Who are you replying to? I think you are on the wrong thread.....

Thanks, Herb. I meant to private message the original poster - I'm new to the forum. Sorry to interrupt the flow of the thread. Thanks so much for putting all this info. in one place and creating/operating this forum. It's very helpful for a prospective 337 buyer!
