Plane advice / airport transport

[rmhaverty]

Hi everyone. I am new to aviation. I am studying to get my Private Pilots Certificate right now.

I have an infinite amout of questions, but my main concerns right now are 1) the type of plane I should buy 2) what mode of transportation I should take with me so I can travel around distant airports...

Any suggestions on either of these?

My price range is limited, but I can afford between 50-100k. I am considering getting a Vespa (or similar scooter), but certainly couldn't fit that in a C172!

I noticed you are from Stockton, CA and just happen to be in my neck of the woods. If I may suggest first get your PPL and test fly several models and see which one is right for you. Purchasing an aircraft isn’t like buying a car. We aviators on the board help each other and asking questing is the best way to start.

Before you purchase an aircraft you may want to contact me by private e-mail.
