- Go FAA database mining to get current owners' mail addresses. Using search criteria makes this easy. Although, recent changes to the registry make it possible for owners to obscure the address.
- Send a letter to the owner expressing interest.
I actually did this when I bought the PA-32 and wanted to get inputs from other PA-32 owners in terms of preferable A&Ps in the area. Adding some sort of gift (cash, McDonald's gift card, etc) will increase the response rate.

- Go FAA database mining to get current owners' mail addresses. Using search criteria makes this easy. Although, recent changes to the registry make it possible for owners to obscure the address.
- Send a letter to the owner expressing interest.
