Looking for Alaska plane

[1938BF50]

This is out to the AK bunch.

My son Amos is nearly in the position to purchase his first "trainer". He keeps looking at projects in the lower 48 and I keep telling him to buy a flying plane. Please keep your eyes and ears open for something up there that might suit his needs ($15K'ish). He is an excellent A&P (no bias here) and really making a name for himself. He is not afraid of something needing work.
He seems to favor the 120/140 for now....I keep telling him to look at some Taylorcrafts. I will get him to join the forum so you can contact him directly.

Thanx all and Happy Holidays!

I've seen a couple real cheap 150s, and a Champ lately. But no 120/140s.

Mike, there is a fellow just north of Palmer a few miles that has a flyable 39 T-craft for less than 15K. His name is Dave Leisner 907-745-6969. I do not have any more info.

Re: Looking for Alaska plane

Someone sent me a photo of what they said was your plane damaged in
The windstorm last week Jim. My condolences if that is yours. It looked pretty bad. I lost a 120 Cessna years ago in a similar storm.

Mike. There is a T-craft for sale on the ramp on the east side of lake Hood I forget what the were asking but its been there several months. Steve
