If there was a plane of the above description with 14,000 plus hours on the airframe, and the engine was past TBO...but it was a lot of fun...would it sell?
150/150E
150 hp Lycoming O-320 E2D
74 inch Sensenich Prop
Long range tanks (40 gal. Total)
Texas Tailwheel Conversion
Sportsman STOL with aileron gap seals
BAS handle on the tail
KY-97a Com
AT-150 XPDR
Been rode hard, but not put away wet too many times.
145 mph. flat out or 125 normal cruise @ 8.4 gph.
1000 fpm climb typical unless full tanks, two people, and baggage.
Asking price would be reasonable.
Thoughts?

This is sad news. 2. Things just wouldn't be the same. 3. But.....just imagine the possibilities. 4. I wish I was 20-30 years younger and thinking about those possibilities. 5. I hope it stays in the family here. 6. Don't tell a potential buyer about the flying naked part of it's life. 7. This plane and that other yellow one are club icons. One quick glance and it's instantaneous: Hey....here comes Gary or Uncle Eddie. 8. Did I mention that things just wouldn't be the same?  Jim

I wish I was 20-30 years younger and thinking about those possibilities. (Never too old! ) 5. I hope it stays in the family here. (Yep!) 6. Don't tell a potential buyer about the flying naked part of it's life. (lol) 7. This plane and that other yellow one are club icons. One quick glance and it's instantaneous: Hey....here comes Gary or Uncle Eddie. (True) 8. Did I mention that things just wouldn't be the same? (May not be the same. But depending on who gets 61U, sure could add an exciting chapter to the story!   )Did anyone mention "Imagine the possibilities?"

Anyone who's seen the spring chicken knows exterior flare and low ttaf aren't my biggest priorities alas plane trading is a costly endeavor. So, you have that RV kit on order already?

Never borrow a mechanic's car, boat, or plane. An RV is definitely a consideration...but there's something else that has caught my eye that might even fit my mission profile even more correctly. I'm gettin' tired of flying planes that won't do anything I ask them to do, especially in Cessna, Iowa. At this point, my options are open. We'll see how things go. But, I promise, I will NOT resort to that irritating "Watch This Space" kind of thing.
