Post by ShirleyYou're a pilot?
Student (just need to take my test and do the checkride, need a plane
for that), my dad is though, he bought and sold three planes since 2003.
He's helping with this ones restoration, he hasn't reskinned one since
the '50's though. Its my first plane, I think I wanna hold onto it
longer than he does his. He's always traded up, I think he bought his
first Piper back in the '50's for $300.00. Mine has 4 seats, decent
speed, economical and a backseat door for physically challenged
people...
http://www.whodat.net/n2342a We picked it up 80 miles south of Tampa
and flew back to Eunice area (couldn't land in Eunice because it was
completely fogged in) in less than 7 hours and 3 fuel stops. Writeup
covered the flight in the Short Wings publication. Hanger we secured
yesterday actually faces where this one was stored. We've been waiting
for a promised opening for over 5 months. This plane had amazing Short
Takeoff and Landing abilities (STOL). Mines 1 year younger and 15hp
less, but lighter because its all fabric, this one had a modification
STC which skinned the wings and fuselage with aluminum back in the
60's...
