So do you think this would be easier to maintain than a T-28?

I am type rated in it. I do not know about the maintenance involved in a T-28 but an L-29 costs about 5K a year and the oil changes are easy. Refilling the nitrogen for the brakes is the biggest pain in the a$$. Engines can be sold to a snow blower company for $2500 after TBO and you can get one For $5-8KSo do you think this would be easier to maintain than a T-28?![]()
Fuel burn?... You'd probably be saving up all year to fly it once or twice... I met a guy one time at Easton airport in MD that had two L-39's and 3 mig-23's. His reason for not flying the migs?... He couldn't afford the gas. And that was back when Jet-A was less than $2 a gallon...

Ummm...yeah...F-104...I don't know that I'd even really call that an airplane. More like a big ass motor with a seat.
Those "wings" are about the size of a C-12 Horiz stab.
How bout the trees are uncomfortably close but faster than a P-3When you say climbs like a pig...
I'd love a quick "how's she go" story.
Had a Skipper who had some time in a 2-seat on courtesy of USAF TPS. Said is was incredible and the only jet he's ever flown that you had trim for torque. Also said at 300 kts you were out of airspeed and ideas.
