Hi Everyone, I am a new member to the forum, and live in North Western Connecticut. I have been flying since 1976 (Comm, Inst, SEL, tail wheel endorsement), have had several planes, and been not flown for about 10 years - I do have a current class 3 medical. My wife and I recently decided to get back into flying, and are drawn to the the 170 for it's looks, simplicity and economy. I look forward to the advice from all of you, and look forward to purchasing a 170B as soon as one is available!

Welcome Roger. This is a great community and a very helpful information source. Take lots of pictures when you find your new ride. Also, it might behoove you to get a little currency in some tail wheel to knock the rust off before you buy yours. D

Welcome.
Don't rush the shopping process. Not only do you need to be careful, but you'll learn a lot looking at a variety of airplanes.
