Looking for an AI near Huntsville AL

Post by 7429 »

I'm looking for a decent AI for an owner-assisted annual in the Huntsville or surrounding area. I've moved from Georgia and had a very good relationship with a mechanic but he has gotten very difficult to coordinate with and the possibility of having a squawk and being stranded a few 100 miles from home is big concern. I know the airplane quite well and can do all the grunt work! Any suggestions?

I am currently in a community hanger :( so he will need to have his own place I can fly to.

...suggest you check @ Moontown Airport (3M5). ("Moontown is a beautiful grass airport located about seven miles east of Huntsville, Alabama.") It's been a while since I've been in there, but their reputation for genuine friendliness, "old fashioned service" and helpful IAs seems intact. (They do have a Facebook page FWIW). Mac
