In need of help !

'Hello everyone! My name is Matt and I am new to the group. I have an urgent need that I am hoping that someone can assist me with. I have an agreement to purchase a Fairchild F24. The airplane is out of state and I am trying to make arrangements to go get her. I have several problems. First problem is that the airplane is out of annual. Getting it in annual is not very practical due to the distance and time required but a ferry permit should not be an issue. Next problem is that I can not get insurance to fly it home unless I get an hour of dual in a Fairchild 24. I Can't very well get dual in an airplane that is out of annual not to mention that the owner passed away and I don't have a qualified pilot for the dual instruction or in reality an airplane to do it in. The plane is in MT and the FAA database shows a few 24 owners near by. Reidar Ilvedson in Forsyth and Jimmie Crump in Bozeman. I am in Atlanta GA and there are a few owners listed in
this area as well but I have not been able to get in contact with any of them. The winter weather is setting in and I have to act fast or the window will close until spring.
Can anyone help? I am getting desperate here. I keep hitting road blocks at every turn. I am in love with this airplane and don't want to give up. Taking her apart and trailering is a last option and I don't really want to risk damaging the plane in dis assembly and transport.
Any assistance or advice is greatly appreciated ...
Regards,
Matt
