I thouht that instead of buying the Morton building and selling everything
except an M38A1, I could buy this and get some of my friends with Air
Transport Pilot ratings to fly this puppy. Seeing that lot's of WWII
vehicles in nice shape go for $25 to 30K, this was a good deal. They'd be
more than happy to do this but one of the real savvy guys looked into the
birds record in more detail and sent me this reply.....
Ron,
I could definitely fly it and would love to. I think based on the
history,
it's priced a bit high. I'd think 100 would be in incredible deal, 120
great, 140 good, all amounts assuming another fresh engine (to replace the
1700 hour one), all up to date inspections, and correction of the oil
line/brake problem that keeps occurring.....
