A picture--well actually numerous pictures like those in this thread--are worth well in excess of a thousand words. Don't go to any trouble producing reports.

Clearly an engineering problem. I'd try to find one that knows something and ask him.:P

You should be. You have did well.

And I acknowledged that this deal may be the all time screwing and won't be surprised if it turns out that way. But it may not be as bad as the only side of the story we've heard sounds, especially the half-ass chriping from the usual suspects who can fix whatever is broke before it rolls...

St. Louis was famous in the day for VFR holds for eastbounds, even for Spirit and other relievers. If questioned they would say "just fly in a circle at your present altitude until further instructed."

I wish I could remember all the planes that somebody has heard about or have been touted or whispered about as being great "finds" only to turn out as just another old warted airplane looking for a home. The appropriate action at this point is to scratch it off the list and move on to the...

Theories abound at the airport, and I'd be the first to agree that yours is certainly one of them.

I just say no thanks, I'm the designated decoy.

Hey Sam, have you thought about talking to the financial wizard at the company? I've heard he's an extremely sharp guy, knows a lot about aviation and is one of the real movers and shakers in Petaluma.

I think it's a real good rating to totally ignore until you actually need it or feel you need to wear a bigger watch or Raybans and buy one of those internet stretching devices in spite of their poor reviews. There's nothing about flying a twin that is of any value to a S/E pilot that more S/E...

I wish I had kept track of my trips to CF. Well more than 500 over 20+ years. Captain Paulo's catfish joint was just a few miles away, best in Nashville with nobody else even close. All locals, in wrong part of town for tourists. All fiddlers, all brushed with mustard and dredged in...

I saw no reference to many potential time-killers. Are engine runs allowed on your ramp? Or theirs? Or only at specified areas on the airport? Ours are on the taxiway at the end opposite the departure line. Figure an hour labor best-case for each one with one guy at the controls and one on...

Typical media GA story. "hit a hangar and reportedly hit a building." Really?

What if it wasn't your plane? Would you know that about all of them? What if it wasn't in your hangar? Would you go get it or try to fix it on the ramp? What about another dozen or so things that might be reasonably expected to require time to accomplish? Any paperwork? Any parts...

That's why junkyards, machine shops and owner-supplied parts were invented.

I've only been flying 180's since 1957, so don't pretend to know all that much about them. But FWIW, I think changing props that aren't bent is like pouring perfume on a pig.

Where's the business located now that CF is closed?

I have extended baggage and carry the tool box and spare tire in the back. Problem solved.

Is that the guy in the overalls? He doesn't look old enough to be an instructor. Is this a trick?

What's in there that is so important to look at? I owned three of them including a Twink and don't think I ever had reason to do it other than during inspections.
