Interesting!  I’ll report back with an update and probably a story or two but busy getting the travel plans in order.

Supposed to be close to ready to ferry. But there are some unanticipated complications, as always.

I hope it can be done. If anyone is interested, now might be a good time to discuss!  Give me a call.

I hope they didn't bring it all the way back just to part it out!

Bruce- any details on this one?  Amazed they got it flying.  Did it become a parts salvage?

I really don’t know.  Some things are just amazing.  We tried - went over twice - once with a mechanic and then sent a ferry pilot (I did not go) and that’s all I’m gonna say about that!  I hope it’s a good ending for everyone.

Bruce, do you know who the owner is? Lawrence Hill-- is that someone known in the Commander community?

Yes I know Larry and no he wasn’t really a Commander guy but I guess he is now! I think he and family do work with skydiving and so forth. We contributed some parts. I have enough restoration projects going but am always open to the next one.

Any word on this 980 (192LH), unfortunately hasn't been in the air for 2 years.  Hate to see that.
