It just needs the spar reinforcement mod!
Just add a doubler. Problem solved.
Maybe a little toothpaste on the canopy as well?Just add a doubler. Problem solved.
They covered it. Bet it’s perfect.
92% FLE expended? Hard pass.
There’s an AMOC for that!
All kidding aside, you could easily run up a $100,000 tab just to get to your first flight.
I would guess that can be overcome with enough money. Hopefully it doesn't get bought and then the restoration dies on the vine.
I’d be surprised if it was that cheap.
I don’t know that they’ve “seen the light,” just that the Air Guard offers more part-time flying opportunities than the naval reserve. If USNR air was the same as it was in the Cold War era all of these guys would be flying with them.
Our unit offers pilot rated 0-4/O-5 the opportunity to drill for points only, get a good year towards a mil reserve retirement, advance if willing, and not maintain a separate aircraft qual which for airline guys is huge. All in a fairly low stress environment. We are an Active Duty unit with about 150 reservists and IMAs.
Is this a one off or are they really handling the sea that badly?
