If you don’t mind a short drive, CubAir in Hartford is excellent. I believe they have an Archer, as well as a 150 in addition to the Cubs they are well known for. Just did a TW endorsement with them and would highly recommend them.

I searched the world over and thought I found true love. You came from together and pffft you were gone….

We have a very close friend who has been suffering from Parkinson’s for several years. He has recently been diagnosed with Levy Body Dementia, an often seen accompanying symptom. So not only is his body failing him, his mind is as well. He’s 68. Life’s often not fair......

All good points. Thanks for the responses. I’m leaning toward steering her away from the deal. I was concerned about maintenance etc costs as has been pointed out. $53,000 seems steep imho for this airplane. I was thinking more in the $35-40,00 range, knowing it’s history. as to her owning...

My uncle was a naval flight instructor in WWII. I would catch holy hell if I referred to the airplane in question as a T6 or Texan. I’m mean, the man had SNJ on his car license plate.

I guess they all are suffering from puppy love. Ok. I’m done…..:rolleyes:

Screwed the pooch. I see what you did there……

Wonder if instead of “ brace! brace! brace!,” the pilot said “sit! sit! Stay!”

Just another reason I’m glad I built and maintain my own homebuilt airplane.

Been going every year since 1983. Yup. I’m a lifer. I’ve seen my share of changes. Some good, some…….
