Well, it's been overdue for an annual for 11 years, the
engines have to be pretty close to an overhaul
(At what, 15 grand each?) and, without looking it up, it's
a fair bet the props are due, too. (2700 Hrs on the props,
about twice that on the airframe, so the last set got changed
at about the same elapsed time)

Now, we'v got a guuy up here in the Upper Right Corner of the
country, with a TF-1/C-1A. All the fun of a Stoof, and you can
take the kids & the dog along, too. (For the younger folks,
the C-1A was the Navy's COD transport before the C-2 took over.
It was basically an S-2 with all the ASW geat removed, passenger
seats, and special cargo bins (So that they could make Car shots
and arrested landings without squashing anybody))

That wouldn't be located at that airport you pass on the road just before
crossing bridge that leads from the mainland out to Acadia/Bar Harbor, is
it? Saw a few older aircraft there last summer, one of which was an
unidentified twin-engine off in the distance.
