Twin Training

[DX Rick]

I'm in the Chicagoland area. I'm looking for a twin to do my training in besides a Travel Air or Seminole. I'm too tall to fit in the Travel Air, and the D.E. I have used all this time, has never given a ride in the Seminole.
Anyone know of another twin in the area?

Associated Air at Lansing (IGQ) has a Baron A55.

Check out Palwaukee. Place called Great Bear Aviation has a Cougar... Windy City Flyers has a pair of Barons and I think a Duchess. Airways has a Geronimo.. Palwaukee Wings had a Duchess as of last week but I hear it is up for sale and not being flown now, not positive on that though.

In the Cougar the seat is not adjustable for height..no Aztec's in the area?

Aztec?

Yes, but the one at DuPage is about to take a dump. The instructors there told me not to even bother, there is so many problems with it.
The other ones I found, the seat doesn't move. So I'm back at square one, with not being able to fit in it.
Thanks for all the help.

I rode up to MSN and back in the back seat of that thing once... got a good burger in town too, wish I could remember the name of the place. Lots of aviation stuff up all over the walls and hanging from the ceiling.

Did you try asking the DE what he's qualified to give multi rides in, and what he might recommend?

Airways has a Geronimo

If I'm not mistaken a Geronimo is an Aztec with more powerful engines. If an Aztec is what you want, there you go.

I'm 6' 7 280lbs. My biggest problem is my legs being able to fit. I'm just going to head to ATP and do it there. The D.E I use is booked up for a quiote a while. He's a chief pilot for a cooperate place out of PWK.
Thanks for all the help though.
