Most of my insurance checkouts are for low end warbirds, like Nanchangs, Yaks and type ratting training for T28’s.
I have a structured 10 hour course starting with a full day ground school and I am a known quantity for the insurance brokers that deal with these kinds of aircraft.
That sounds really cool. Apologies for hijacking the thread but how does one get involved in that sort of thing?
