Hi Steven / @sunstone , and welcome to GADC.
Part of an ever increasing number of M2P owners on the forum! 
Some of those owners have an immense amount of experience, so don’t be afraid of asking any questions over on #questions-and-answers where I’m certain there’ll be plenty of helpful info forthcoming.
If you haven’t already, take a look at the Map of Members. This is a relatively new feature so not everyone is on there as yet, but I’m sure there are other members in your neck of the woods that will come and say Hi.
(Don’t forget to add yourself to that map : Members’ Location Map - A Guide)
Also, if you’ve not seen it, check out our map of places where members have flown that might be of assistance.:
