Anyone up for a T-28? We're a 5-man owner group in Houston, TX, bought it in 2017 as a hangar queen, got it flying in 2019 and have had a fun time with it, but lately it's just not being flown enough, we're all just too busy at other projects... so, we're looking to part with it.

The ship is Fennec No 1, the first production ship off the Sud Aviation conversion line in 1960. It's a combat vet, served in the French/Algerian war 1960-62. It started life as a USAF T-28A sn 51-7632, went to the French Air Force, then to Morocco, then Honduras, then imported back to the US in 1986. I could delve more into its history, but instead, here's a web article about it with more detail than I can provide;
https://vintageaviationnews.com/warbird ... again.html

For the last 6+ years it's been hangared in Houston and maintained by a local warbird/T-28 guru. Included is a gun pod/rocket package. Panel and interior are in great shape, but the exterior could do with new paint, or at least spot touch ups. Specs and pics to follow.

Almost forgot some important digits; asking $220k

Thanks!
