Got a call today. Older owner who needs the plane out of the hangar. The good: A decent looking 1965 500B with about 1000 hour/1996 vintage engines. Front door. Shrike nose. Decent seats. It has an Old Trimble GPS and silver crown, FCS 810 AP. Maybe 13,000 Total time. I have photos.
The bad: sitting for 10 years in a hangar in dry and cold western AK. The props have been turned, but who knows what the engines look like inside, etc. Old Hartzells with the AD.
I can cut up a plane as good as the next guy and repurpose the parts better than most, but it sure would be a shame to salvage a decent looking plane sitting proudly in a hangar at an active airport.
If someone wants an adventure, this might be one for you. Housing available.
I have no interest in this other than I offered to help the man find someone who will work to fly it out and for that, a fair and low price shall be worked out.
