It was a neat plane but was not getting flown often enough and me and one other were the only ones interested in doing the miantenance. I think the CAF sold it. Engines were high time but compression was still good and it ran strong.
I think that O2 is with the Dayton area CAF squadron.

On the other hand, beauty is as beauty does. And for now this is a beauty of a plane if it helps me get my CFI done.

I logged a bunch of hours in two of those I took care of at our flight school. The gear looks funny going up, but it makes a great speedbrake during slam-dunks. Not that an RG really needs a speedbrake......

Uuuhhhh....isn't the gear retraction 'visuals' what prompted the USAF nickname of 'Oscar Duck' ?

Yup, it's just painful to see. I hope to never have that view of my aircraft.
