It' sad to see it up for sale so soon.

Well, it's kind of a good thing. It means the heirs are moving forward. Hopefully the plane will find a good owner soon and be back where it belongs, in the air.

When I was handling my mom's affairs, I wanted to get things done as quickly and smoothly as possible. I'm sure Kirk can regale us with tales about how stressful dealing with an estate over a protracted period of time can be.

It can be stressful. Knowing this, Robert sold it before his passing. A man in Key West bought it to learn to fly. It seems it served it's purpose and is on to a new destiny.

My wife and I had lunch with his wife, Diane. She has the support of her family and seems to be doing well.

Along the same line, I sold my plane in January last year to Club member Rick Phillips. He flew it to Ft. Worth, then a few months later flew it to Florida when he moved there. I just checked and its registration status [registry.faa.gov] looks kind of strange ("In Question"). Don't know if he has sold it to someone else near Ft. Worth.

Wayne, thanks for letting us know Diane is doing fine.
This is good to hear.

Hung, my guess is that Rick has not renewed the registration after he originally registered it when he bought it.

Glad it was sold before Robert's passing so the family did not have to manage that - this is what happened to '420, and she sat untouched for years other than annual inspections.

Hung, it looks like it's still flying around Texas, and FlightAware shows the reg status as "Registration Pending."
