I'd buy it! Was this the one that was at Pima or are there two?

Go back to the linked ad, this is the one restored to flying condition, the other is at Pima.

You wouldn't lose it in a row of blue CESSNAS, and you'd probably get a pretty good display line spot- :lol: :lol: :lol:

At last, the go-faster Grumman Duck! I've been waiting for this.

... blast, someone's stolen the piggy bank.

It's hard for me to assess a dollar value on it. Priceless? Is it worth more than a Grumman Duck or Bearcat, ie in the $1 mill to $2 mill range? Is it worth very little like a Grumman Guardian or Tracker?
As a buyer, I would hope it would be priced in the range of a big engined T-28, or maybe a Widgeon.

I sure wish people would put a price with the ad! It gets me when they say "serious inquiries only". Everyone is usually curious about how much something costs. It seems if you post the asking price, that would cut the inquiries down to just those who are interested in buying.

Great to see this rare bird flying. I used to see it during its restoration at RW Martin, French Valley. RW Martin does a lot of maintenance on De Havilland products, at times this guy looked out of place in the hanger there.
