I just purchased my 1st airplane, a '48 170. The instructor I had lined up suddenly backed out due to his work. Now I'm trying to find another CFI for a tail wheel endorsement. The plane is stationed at Lewis (LOT), just outside of Chicago.
Dave Morrow is a TIC170A member and a CFI/CFII at Blue Skies Pilot Shop at the Lake in the Hills Airport (3CK). Call him at 815-356-8121 and tell him Dale Medendorp sent you.
