You are right, he won't part with it. I live close enough to tow the thing to my house and he isn't interested. Gary A. tried months ago when the wings were still on with no luck.

What a crying shame.....I know it's his property, but here in Missouri, a man would be horsewhipped if seen in public mistreating a dog, horse, or Heaven forbid, his mule! That's what they made Piper Tomahawks for!
I hope when the wings do fall off, they slap the guy silly...not hurt him mind you...just a good whack

The LAST thing you want to do is slap the guy...................because excrement splatters when struck :lol: :wink: :roll:

And I'll bet if you X rayed his head on this matter the film would show a great steaming pile inside the guys noggin and not much else :!:

You can't tell from the pictures but the plane is in a yard that sells rocks to home builders etc. For the life of me I cannot make the connection of what rocks have to do with airplanes.............unless there are rocks in the guys head!

I suspect it's to get folks like you and me to look at his place. He also has a caboose there, does he not?

He's also got several other interesting things around his property. One of which is a very old Dodge truck. Its a 1921, or something like that.

There you go Gary load the plane in the back of that old dump truck and haul it to Austin Acres along with the life size Grizzley Bear!
