WOO-HOO
Yesterday I finally sold my T-28. I've been trying for over 3 years and it finally happened…..on my birthday, too. Not only do I have a few more dollars available for car stuff from the sale but I don't have to buy insurance, oil and $5 plus a gallon fuel for it anymore.
DEPRESSIVE
I've owned it for 22 years and practically built it myself. I know every square inch of that airplane. I'll really miss being able to crank her up and listen to that beautiful 1425 HP radial sound like a bevy of solid lifter 409's ready to run. There's nothing better to clear the mind of all those daily stresses than to go out and do a few loops, barrel rolls, etc followed by a high speed break over the runway at home field ending in a squeaker landing that not only lets you survive to do it again later but even lets you re-use the airplane since it is still in one piece. Sad, but I'll get over it. Only two more airplanes to sell and I'm back into cars full time.
In Ol'Blue's memory here's a few pics:
