RTX Corporation, not Raytheon. (I know, I can barely keep up, either.)

Beegle's in Greeley, CO might be closer to your/aircraft's location.

Maybe a Luscombe? Side-by-side, but with a stick instead of yoke. But, as everyone mentioned, corrosion can happen, even without wood spars.

Very logical guess. Cherokee 140, registered in Minnesota, 4 people on board. (Though the article does mention engine trouble). Glad they made it out of the wreck.

That was just one of the Rocky Flats mutant jackrabbits.

Doesn't change the principle of your example, but I think you mean Gillette, WY, Sheridan has not had a tower that I know of, at least since 1994.

Cessna 206 should do, as well.

Two on board, perhaps a training flight gone wrong? RIP

How is the elevator positioned with the 152 control lock installed? (Been too many years for me, I can't recall). Or, could have been a "jury-rigged" gust lock, such as a nail through the yoke shaft hole, but that would still leave the controls in the "standard" lock position.

That'd be nice, for sure, but the OP did mention budget considerations.

This, with Brackett tow bar and hitch on the front.

Like others have mentioned, yeah, 40 hrs dual does seem a bit overboard. However, you should sit down with your instructor and map out a plan. The dual for your IR will all count, and, realistically, you'd probably realistically need more than the 15 hr minimum anyway. You could also log some...

I gotta go with this assessment. To me, it just doesn't make sense to buy that kind of used part from Texas Air or others. The pump you're replacing is, maybe 40-50 years old, if the original. So, the used one runs, but maybe it's 39 years old? Sure, more money, and unfortunately, the...

I agree with MauleSkinner, maybe better to wait. Sure, might be fun and interesting, but there's a whole lot of other "continuing ed" stuff you could use that money for right now. And, I don't know for sure, but is there a 2-year time limit on your graduation date, similar to a written test?

The elbow/legroom narrows the field. Maybe a Cessna 170, with 180hp engine? Probably have a hard time finding one under $50K.

What about Gunnison/Crested Butte?

On takeoff? (Front wheels are usually still exposed for water, just not extended.)

Excepting maybe smoke in the cockpit or rapid decompression, it ought to go: (Master Warning/Caution light flashing): Fly the Plane, then: 1. Wind your watch. 2. Order coffee. 3. PNF gets appropriate checklist/QRH.

Nice picture, Pilawt! And, everybody take notice how far out the red knob is!
