From the "Stolen T-6G" thread...

I appreciate all the positive thoughts and good feelings from everyone. When a person spends so much time working on a project in their life, it stays with them for a lifetime. I remember looking for a dome cover for two years and finally finding it. Or the time I search for five years for a manual. This is all part of it. The joy and frustration on restoring a warbird. Not everyone shares this level of passion and detail. Maybe a little too much sometimes. Either way the end goal is the same,fly it.

That being said, is really like to get it back and into the new shop I will have in the next month or so. A good word with the CAF is Culpepper would sure be appreciated.

All the best,
Patrick

So, the obvious question for me is...are these two "Culpepper" T-6G aircraft one and the same or not?

The accident T-6 has been owner by the same guy for over 2 years.

I believe the "stolen" T-6G was a restoration project, not a flyer (yet).

I thought so too but the "coincidence" was potentially a bit too much to ignore, so I had to ask...

Sorry to hear of the ground loop and wish everyone a speedy recovery. K5DH is correct, two different aircraft. Still working to recover my aircraft. No new information just yet.
