Anyone who would pay what Sierra is worth would surely be the kind of person to appreciate exactly what that airplane is and take exceptional care of it! Of course, there are plenty out there with more money than brains and a bright shiny toy du jour might attract them. Shudder.
What I was getting at Jim is that if AOPA thinks their "base" model 152 is worth $100K, then Sierra should/would easily be able to command +$100K. I certainly wasn't suggesting the airplanes were comparable!!!! As I mentioned, I have never seen your plane in person, but each time I see various pictures I just shake my head as to how drop dead gorgeous she is, and I also know the blood, sweat and love that you have poured into her. I don't envy your having to sell her, but I sure envy the fact that you were able to do what you did!
