gitmo234 Posted April 11, 2017 Report Posted April 11, 2017 She's all done. Final payment is on the way, and the bill of sale/registration, etc is on the way to me. Other than minor things you'd expect out of an airplane this old, she seems great. Part of the agreement was to keep her stored in the hangar until I return from my deployment in July and can pick her up. My CFI will go out with me and we'll make the flight back to home base of 58M work as my flight review and complex checkout with all the necessary stops and maneuvers along the way. Until then I'll just keep looking at the same pictures over and over, plan trips (with our new extended range and speed), and plan future upgrades. My home field mechanic who maintained my Cessna reviewed the logs as well. He was confident based on the amount of maintenance, log keeping and where it had been maintained that I shouldn't have much to worry about and he'd be comfortable with the purchase. I spoke to others, I got details on everything I could find. Eventually at some point you have to roll the dice! 12 Quote

MBDiagMan Posted April 11, 2017 Report Posted April 11, 2017 Congratulations! When I was in my final months overseas in 1971, my dream of what was waiting for me at home was a car. I can't imagine how great it is to be looking forward to an airplane. thanks for your service. Come home safe! Quote
75_M20F Posted April 11, 2017 Report Posted April 11, 2017 Is there someone that can put an hour on it every couple weeks? It's hard on an engine to sit for longer then that. Perhaps hook an engine dehydrator up to it if nothing else. Quote

carusoam Posted April 11, 2017 Report Posted April 11, 2017 One has to take so many risks in life... When you have done all the homework, completed all the due diligence, finished all the follow-up... You still roll the dice. Well played! Still a lot of work to go... Get home safely. Any Transition Training in the schedule? Best regards, -a- Quote
