Sell and get a shiny new single.


I'd keep it, no question.

This is one of those individual things, different folks with different
needs and desires. For example, if I had won the Waco, make a couple of
fun flights with an instructor and then sell it. But the Arrow -- much
nicer than MY Arrow, but I would hate to give up my turbo. Hard decision.

By the way, what do you mean "*if* Phil calls." I'm *counting* on it!!!

Just wondering what you guys would do with that sweepstakes airplane if

Phil
called you up and told you it was yours.


Use it to get my multi and commercial tickets then sell it for a down
payment on a condo.

I would keep it....I would refinance my home for the money to pay the taxes
"can we say write off".

Keep it, lease it to an FBO at a price a little too high for it to actually
get used much, and use the deductions against the taxes.

Sell/Trade up to a cherokee six.
My kids will only fit in the Super III for probably another 5 years or so.
Couldn't afford to insure/maintain a twin.
But it would be sooooo cool if I could ;-)

Ross,

Keep or sell?


For me this gave rise to the question why AOPA puts a plane on the
sweepstakes that makes this decision so tough. Seems to me there will be
more "Sell"ers than "Keep"ers for this kind of plane in the world out there.
So what's next? A nice old Lear 23, beautifully restored?

I would like to see planes that more people can afford to keep....

Regards

Kai

Isn't that an oximoron?
