I got an email a few days ago, What can we do with her? She has been on the ground for about 4 years now. A couple of A&P's later she is sitting in pieces, and I have no real idea what it would take to bring her back from the dead. I have a couple phone calls in to see what the cost would be to taker her apart and truck it to Alpine Tx, where the owner has an A&P he would like to work on it. There is a shop here at KSAT that would be happy too get the work, but after 4 years sitting outside, they cannot even begin to estimate how much it would cost. Shop rate of $75, trying to figure out what parts are missing, how much corrosion is in the fuel system, engines, and airframe. I would love to see her fly again! The owner would like to use it for business (he travels all over Texas) and I would love to fly him around! So now we wait for all the quotes to come in and then he will make a decision! It will be interesting to see if this old bird will fly again!
