MT prop?Sometimes I think it would be easier to just pull money out of an ATM and throw it in the street, but a couple laps around the pattern yesterday were enjoyable.

1982 Beechcraft T-34 Mentor - Fly Yellow Feather
Exceedingly rare opportunity to own the only currently flying T34C-1 Mentor. This is a Weaver Aircraft restoration and has been upgraded with modern avionics, auto pilot, mil spec paint. No detail was ignored right down to the first aid kit mounted in the back. There will be nothing like...

The DoD chopped up all the T-34Cs, so this may be your only chance at a nicely upgraded T-34C. There aren’t many out there…and this one has hard points for external carry.Yes please!

Correct.
I'm trying to figure out why they painted "NX34CC" on that T-34. Inside it seems to be "N34CC." I'm wondering if this is the same plane that keeps turning up every 5 years or so for sale (and posted here), but with a new paint job.
The FAA has it registered as N34CC…it was originally N234CK.
Found the answer…and it is interesting.
This particular aircraft never flew for Uncle Sam, but was instead sold directly by Beech to Gabon, Africa. When it was purchased privately d returned to the US it was rebuilt as an experimental. Because it was technically a “warbird” (in Gabon) FAR 45.22 allows the owner to use the "X" (for experimental aircraft) if aircraft is either a US civil aircraft built at least 30 years ago, or an experimental aircraft that is a replica of a US civil aircraft built at least 30 years ago! Interestingly, the “X” on the fuselage isn’t on the actual registration but allows the owner to skip all the “Experimental” placards in the cockpit. This has,Ed me to the conclusion that the FAR’s are much like the Bible…a rule to challenge every rule.
How bad was the crosswind?
Not bad - 12 kts
Is that a CAP bird?
Yes, a 2016 Cessna 182T NAV III (G1000, WAAS, GFC 700 autopilot+FD. ADS-B in and out, stormscope, bluetooth connectivity to iPads for 'own ship', wx, radar, traffic, etc) - N395CV

That sounds like the real reason right there. Thanks for the info.
In other news, as someone who was battling impending ED for the last year until my last annual in June, I appreciated this helpful PSA.
