Got a deal on this airplane in Talkeetna, Alaska so I went ahead and bought it for you.

Gary, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I think there might be something wrong with your new plane. This is what I get from the FAA's N-number search:

ATTENTION!


This aircraft's registration status may not be suitable for operation.
Please contact the Aircraft Registration Branch as 1-866-762-9434 for additional information.

I'm sorry Gary, but I think your new plane might not be airworthy.

Probably just an issue with the hole in one blade of the prop. YouVe got plenty of time to address that before Gaston's 2010.

Funny looking RV6

I think there is enough talent here on the board that we could collectively get it airborne in no time; even if we have to push it out of the back of a Sherpa!

Aha! That's what it is - A rare single-engine Shorts!

I think they forgot to take the plane out of the box it came in before they went flying.

I'm calling out your brother as a piker. If he was any kind of brother, he would have flown it home for you.

I have flown on the Shorts before. It is a really fun aircraft. Don't knock it.

When you get it home will you enter it in the local Pinewood Derby?

I know, I actually quite like the Shorts. It's a nice flying plane that has the best engines ever (PT-6s). It's just funny looking and we like to give them a little grief. In Beckly, WV there was a Shorts operator next door to us. We all became friends, which of course means busting on the other guys plane whenever possible.

As have I. Instead of a metal mailing tube, you're riding in a shipping box. 6 of one....

He's family. No one ever said he was a friend.

Maybe so, but I wouldn't want to be caught dead in one. Kinda like mantyhose.
