The problem with buying a classic (as I understand it) is that I won't
be able to do the repair and maintenance on it. I've seen a bunch of
old ratty Cessna 150s sitting around the air parks that look like they
need a lot of TLC to get flying. If I bought one of those, I'd have to
pay an A&P a fortune to get it in the air.
