Would you buy your Skymaster again?

[p25416]

I am looking at getting a small team to own/ use a Skymaster. I find nice ones for sale, but worry about not being able to get parts.

1) In general has this been a problem for you? Do you think it will be a problem in another 5 years?

2) Would you buy an older (60s) one that has been re-done, or a newer one that still needs work assuming pricing is about the same?

3) Is their a cutoff in terms of airframe total time that you would walk away or can these airframes go forever (in general.)

Thanks,

Kevin
