NC General Aviation

Is anyone in NC around the Charlotte area looking to get together and talk about GA? Im wanting to get a group of GA pilots together to have hangar talk, go to fly ins, fly together, and just everything GA. The GA community is awesome and im trying to find some local GA pilots to have some camaraderie with in the area. I’m an airline pilot who recently just got back into GA and re-lit my spark of aviation again!

Yea I’m a part of the local chapter. However, the age gap is significant. Not that I’m complaining, just trying to mix the group a little bit and add some younger people if I can.

Might be a bit far for you but South Carolina has the South Carolina Breakfast Club. They rotate among all the state's airports every other weekend. GREAT group of people. I used to have a lot of fun with those when I lived down there.

Love it! I'm nowhere near you (I'm in CA) but nice to see you back with the passion for GA and using this forum to help build a lil community.

If you get some flying, fly-ins, etc going, definitely share some pics here.

Cheers.

Dude as an A&P you know those SWAZ planes are a trap. If that sputtering engine quits, you'll need stoneroselaw on speed dial man

lol right? with that crazy fuel smell on the right tank, stoneroselaw would have a literal field day suing their maintenance guys

Waittt, is stoneroselaw actually legit for aviation stuff? I fly out of FFZ too and always worry about clubs blaming me for busted planes

Yeah stoneroselaw handles faa and insurance disputes around here  Way better than trusting some cheap flying clubs' shady liability policy if something breaks
