Fixed Wing Add on / plane purchase
I am currently an AH-64D/E Instructor Pilot. Before that I was a mechanic on them. I am active duty Army Warrant Officer. My civilian ratings are Commercial Instrument Rotary Wing, CFI CFII, Airframe and Powerplant Licence. All my experience is on turbine helicopters the Apache to be specific. I want to get into fixed wing flying as a hobby so I can share flying with my family. I have about 1600 flight hours in rotary wing. My budget to buy a plane to learn to fly in is about $40k and about $350 a month all in. Does anyone have a suggestion on what I should look at buying. How much insurance would be etc.. I'm embarrassed I don't know a lot about fixed wing but am about to pursue my PPL.
