Hi Sal,
Not sure where you are in SoCal but there is a huge group of guys that fly all around the region. We will be in the San Fernando valley flying this Sunday and on March 15th maybe 20 of us or so will be at a place south of Bakersfield called "Buttonwillow". If you want to stop by I think you will be able to see some Boomerangs and some of the turbine set ups that are successful for a lot of people, including several beginners.
Anyway, good luck with you search, I would say jump right in the water is fine. Jets are a lot of fun, I can assure you.
Regards,
Hi and thank you for the invatation. I know Buttonwillow. I stop there years ago when I was in the trucking busniess. Anyhow I live in the San Diego area so that would be a very long trrip. And with gas prices so high plus my SS Trailblazer sucks fuel I'll think I'll pass this time. Need to save a few bucks right now...I got laid off last week, my son got laid off yeaterday and my daughter's company is going out of busniess in a month. Sooooooooooooo I need to hit the lottery asap.
But we will be O.K. this is just a bump in the road of life.
Thanks again
P.S. my names is Steve. Sal are the initial's in my name
