I happened to go by this former grass field that is now a giant horse pasture (without horses). There are two C-150s, a Cessna 310, Mooney, and a Varga Kachina. I really like the Kachina, but the grass has not been mowed for a long time, and all the airplanes are in rough shape. Before the field shut down, I talked to the guy who owned it, he wanted $12,000 for each!!!!
Since I'm starting on my A&P on Monday, I thought I could talk the town into letting me take it off their hands for $1000, and get some experience by fixing them up over a period of time.
Has anyone done this, and what are people's thoughts on this? Here's a photo of the Kachina.



And this is what the paint looked like about a year ago on one of the -150s, but now it's little worse. This is what the rest of the airplanes look like, some of the cowlings are held on with bungee cords.
