The other airplane raffle

I wonder if this year's raffle plane comes with a fresh annual?
 
No Luscombe this year :(
 
The 1940s guys always have their plane out at Wings Over Houston every year as far as I can recall, so you can actually see it. You can even buy tickets at the air show.
 
Man if you ever have to sell your plane, you should just start a raffle.

from raffle rules pdf.

Other than that, havn't seen any further.

I think original spec would be O-540, not IO-540.

I called and talked with them. They are going to email me photos and details. I will pass them along if I get it. Someone is suppose to put up the info on their website too.

He did say it was having an annual done now.

I was thinking the same thing. If I have a $30k airplane and want top dollar for it, why not sell 3000 raffle tickets at $50? Subtract some advertising costs and website running costs and you end up with a nice chunk of change. Do this once a year and have a nice secure income. :)

Problem is most (all?) states don't allow individuals to raffle things off. Has to be done through churches, non-profits, etc...

Play your cards right and you'll have thousands of followers giving you all their money, with a bunch of celebrities as spokespersons.
 
Might as well get your deposit in on a new g650. It's what preachers need to spread the word of god, at Mach .925
:D

and 106 entries received of the requisite 400 minimum.
 
Looks like the Cherokee Six is out:
April 30, 2015: It is with significant regret that we are compelled to terminate the raffle. We simply have not received the minimum response we needed to break even on the aircraft.

At the outset we determined we needed to sell a minimum of 400 tickets. Much to our disappointment we have not received the participation we had hoped. We do not believe it reasonable to anticipate we shall sell the minimum number of tickets in time to conduct the drawing.

We will be placing the airplane on Ebay in the near future.

I have the winning ticket to the old 172. :D Even my daydreams are practical.
 
Anyone hear when they will pick ticket 246, 247 or 248?

I need a week or 2 to schedule a trip to pick it up.

Crap, I meant to buy some tickets from them. They approached me at Wings over Houston... I told them I couldn't afford the taxes from winning two in a year and their jaws dropped. They hadn't ever heard of the Wings of Hope raffle, though. I saw the 1940s terminal raffle airplane at the show, she looked to be in good shape!
 
Tickets are still on sale. I just grabbed 3 more
 
I picked up one for this one. I never got my ticket for the wings of hope. I replied to the email receipt to find out where my ticket is...

Y'all are welcome for rides out of KORL when I win...
 
Got my ticket today LUCKY #940!! I only bought one, because that's all I need to win it.
