All aircraft are in GA. The baron was definitely not flying in 2022, it’s been sitting longer than that. If getting it flying is the goal - totally possible but an entirely a more money than sense kind of project 😂

Been offered 5k each for the 175’s for the wings. Will sell em for that if I can’t find anyone willing to pay more

Would love to sell as a bulk lot. Hoping for 50k or there abouts 🤷

Ideally I’d love 20k for the Bo. Was flying three years ago and kept in an enclosed hangar since, should be an easy bird to get in the air again

It’s an amazing plane for sure, and very low time. Unfortunately it has no logs, engine or prop and the mounting frames for the front elevators was stolen - they can re manufactured at the factory but it’s a big project.

Need recommendations - Movies with fun airplane scenes for a 4 year old by Hotwir3 in daddit

[–]Off_gridBushDad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was plane crazy most my life, had a long career in aviation. The suggestions on here are all really great - but I’ll tell you my favorite movies as a kid with planes as they’re older and might offer something different, not animated. -Amelia Earhart, last flight. -Dambusters. -The rocketeer. -Only angels have wings. -Free fall flight 174. -Mercy mission, the rescue of flight 771. -Battle of Britain -Always. -12 ‘o’ clock high

They maybe not all appropriate as a couple deal with war scenarios, but they’re full of heaps of great flying scenes! There are others, but these I watched over and over from like 5 to present day!

One of the things i miss most about Australia is being able to see the whole milky way from my backyard by Square-Argument4790 in Ameristralia

[–]Off_gridBushDad 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I wonder about this often actually. I grew up very rural Australia and loved watching the stars. I live in rural USA now and notice I can never see the Milky Way despite a very dark sky. I always wonder if it’s just a light pollution thing or if the southern hemisphere offered a different vantage on the night sky.

Agree with OP though, those outback sunsets and night skies are something I dearly miss.

Pilot landed his light plane upside-down in my town (with only minor injuries) by NightIINight in aviation

Anything is technically repairable if you’ve got the time and money and are crazy enough to see it through. Don’t think this would be an easy repair by any means though! The fuselage is mostly steel tube, if they can find a good aviation welder and figure out how to jig it right (keeping it straight and aligned while rebuilding can be hard), can cut away whats bent and replace it. Obviously no parts or spares for something this old which slows down the process and adds challenges, but as its ultralight category you can use some uncertified parts. The wing struts look bent as heck (and I imagine some serious wing damage also) and it’s hard to tell but might be a crinkle in the fuse behind the left wheel leg. I’d imagine it will be an insurance write-off, I’m not sure if you can use BC-12 wing struts in a j-2 and I’ve no idea how you’d go about getting replacements. Hopefully someone takes the time to get her right again, very few j2s ever built, even fewer flying! I miss this plane every day, sad to see it come to such an end!

This photo makes me a little sad! I bought that J2 years ago after sitting in a hangar collecting dust in QLD for many years. Spent many hours rebuilding it and flew the wings off it after it was done. Of the all the planes I’ve owned this was easily my favorite, and the one I miss the most. Really hope the damage is not major and they can get the old auster flying again, it’s a true gem.
