Plus, I found a really affordable aircraft that I could rack up some of these hours in.

My question: Is there anyone in this area (aircraft is at KHEF Manassas, VA) who would like to switch off saftey pilot duties / hood flying so that we may accumulate the required XC PIC? I would be available for maybe 5 hours a week. Perhaps more or less, if your schedule so dictates.

Please PM me if you are interested. I'm ready to get going here in the next week or two.

All the best,
