Sorry I missed it
The ex's aunt was admitted to a hospital out of town near death two days before I was to leave so I ended up with kid duty. I'm sorry I missed the meeting. It sounds like it was a good one.

Meeting
Due to family emergency, I have the kid and can't make the meeting. Have a good time all. I'm bummed! Walt, thanks for the offer of the ride but I won't be able to go along.

Overhaul vs. Cont. Reman.
From the discussion above, it seems to me that overhaul is the way to go. In researching options (should I end up buying a plane with runout engines), I came across an ad in the CPA magazine for a...

Very helpful
That is indeed very helpful information Ernie. A low time airframe with mid-life engines at $71,000. Now, comparing that to the 336 I am looking at, asking price $55,000 sounds a bit too high. Though...

p.s. - I will make it if I can whatever the location but I doubt I will be in a Skymaster yet. Will you guys talk to me? What if I wear a tee shirt with props on the front and back?
