"Guidance to achieve my goal..."
Posted by aviador1982 on 03-03-07 at 05:54z
Hi my name is Leonardo Silver, I'm a 24 year old flight instructor from a small country called Uruguay in south america.
We don't have any aerobatic pilot or aircraft here in the whole (really small, 3 million inhabitants) country besides our air force. I always wanted to bring one of those amazing aircrafts to the country and be an akro pilot. The thing is i have to start from zero, find the sponsors and everything.
I would love to have some guidance from more experienced people, I wanna know what I can do to achieve this goal. I don't know if I could lease an Extra, Sukhoi or Pitts, I don't even know how much they cost, or if the companies that make those aircrafts would be glad to help in doing this.
I will appreciate any comment or information to help me on this, thank you!

Leo.

Hi Leo

I know where Uruguay is. I hear it's a beautiful country. I've been to Argentina and flew a Pitts there. It was fantastic!

Not sure what to tell you from this distance. I would suggest you find some local pilots to talk to. If not in Uruguay, then in Argentina.

Best of luck.
Patty

It is indeed a beautiful country, just too small.
Thank you for taking the time to respond. I know in Argentina there are some akro pilots that use Pitts, didn't hear about Extras there. I fly pretty often to Argentina so next time i'll ask there.
Thanks again, it was my pleasure to have the opportunity to talk to you.
Leo.
