I noticed on Courtesy's website that Carolina Girl is no longer listed as "pending" and the price is $375,000. Then I checked under the sales log and on B-25 N3155G is listed which is Warbird Digests plane. Can someone please help with this. The sales log shows for 2006 only.

I assume the pending sale fell through. When you look open up the link for more details the price listed is $325,000. That seems like a great bargin...OK time for a WIX Hanger group purchase!

Yes, we did sell N3155G. We received an excellent offer on the airplane, one which we could not walk away from. We have other aircraft in our fleet to continue to operate as photo airplanes and this will allow me to concentrate on completing the PV-2.

Carolina Girl remains for sale. That airplane needs some significant work to get fully operational.

I can't wait to see another PV-2 in the air. Do you have a time frame of when we can hope to see it around at airshows? Or is that pictures too fuzzy at this point.

Tim,

Just curious, did you sell the B-25 to the individuals who visited it after the Thunder Over Michigan airshow last Sunday? They are friends of mine. They told me they were coming down to look at the aircraft . No need to mention any names here. Just a simple yes or no.

Thanks

Greg

How upset was your son about the B-25 being gone ? They tend to get possessive at that age. :lol:

Surprisingly, it didn't phase him. I think he likes the C-45 a lot better because he can see out the window! In the B-25 he is in the jumpseat most of the time and can't see much, consequently he slept.
