Howdy from Texas. I'm looking to buy a 170 in the spring of 05 to learn on. I'm looking for the following:
1. Mentorship
2. Advice
3. Texans who love 170's (I have the directory and might be calling)
4. Any guys under 40 that are members...no offence to the sage tribal leaders...? I was born in 1972. Seen some of the pics from the events and most of you look wiser than I.
5. Grace from the tribal leaders regarding number 4.

Kind Regards,

Who you callin' "sage"! (Oh, wait a minute! Maybe that's a good word. Hmmmmn ... 'never been called thet b'fore.)
Who you sayin' looks old! (Yeah...that's the ticket.) Huh? Who?
Welcome! Where's Aledo?
Join the Association and start coming to the events! (Next big one is Reklaw, 4th weekend of Oct, Oct 22-24, East Texas. You'll meet lots of airplanes/owners, etc. Check out the Events/Fly-Ins section of this forum and download the pdf flyer/invitation that Dan Linn posted at geocities.!)

Craig,
You've come to the right place.
More than enough Texan to go around.
Plenty of Sage Tribal Leader Advice.
Quiet a few members under 40, even in Texas.
In defense of our Tribal Leaders, I can assure you they don't always act their age!
