It looks like there is a warbird sell off happening at Falcon Field. The TBM and the TF-51 for sale are both based there.


Is the TBM, the former TBM that belonged to Bill Hill out of the Houston area???

750k seems high to me too Ryan. Is that comparable to what Barbie sold for? I believe Bob Russell owns the TBM. I don't know who owned it before him though.

I'm pretty sure it went to Jerry Yagen's Fighter Factory in VA.

I think the JU is still in Midland, being worked on. It was turned back in to HQ in such poor shape, the Fighter Factory guys wouldn't even take it for a flight around the patch. It should be getting pretty close to leaving though, if it hasn't already.
