The entire thread sort of had a history of the on again, off again history of the airframe.

I guess so, it is a pretty sweet aircraft I brought a T-6 back to the factory and had a chance to check it out and talk to one of the pilots......

A little off topic, but I was driving down Kellogg the other day and saw the Beechcraft piston paint shop is demolished, along with the flying club and some associated huts. Looks like they are getting a new paint shop for $2.5M.

Yeah the SW corner of the airfield. Google Earth still shows the buildings, it's where the Bonanzas and Barons were built I think. You used to see airplane tails sticking out of the building on one side.
