I still have the goal of being a B-17 pilot one day, and after talking to one of the head B-17 tour pilots for the CAF, I was informed I need a lot of T-6 time, so I'm looking for one here in south Florida. I have my tailwheel endorsement with 50 hours of TW time. I'd also love to fly a Stearman, I'm here in Lauderdale. I have a good amount of Multi-Engine time as an airline pilot. Would like to even get my tailwheel time built up, I'm located in Fort Lauderdale.

Check with Trudeau Warbirds in Punta Gorda. Yeah, I know, they're on the other coast, but they do warbird maintenance and restoration for a living, so it's possible that they'll know someone who might be able to help you out.

Thanks for the reply, my dad has a house in Fort Meyers, so next time I'm there I'll stop by.
