Any new news on Skyler Burchinal's AF-2S Guardian?

Fri Nov 30, 2018 12:50 pm

Last I remember is he painted it and had run the engine. Awhile ago I think I remember seeing and advert in Air Classics I think? That it was for sale. Anybody know anything?
Thanks.

Those main gear look really spindly and weak. I'd love to see this thing fly someday.

I wonder if he has gear doors for it?

That's a handsome looking airplane, for sure, and a very interesting and unusual subject. I've never seen one in person. I'd love to see it flying some day (soon!).

The late 1980's saw Jimmy Leeward fly an AF-2 Guardian into the TICO VAC Show. It was neat to see it fly!
Might be the same one, just can't remember right now.

One in the same Mr O'Neill. I wonder when the last time it flew? I'm assuming he had to take it apart to get it to Texas.
