Yesterday was a long day. In a Cessna Grand Caravan, we flew from Hartford to St. Louis stopping once for fuel. The potential buyer got a ride and I reviewed the aircraft & log books quickly and we flew back to Hartford with no stops. We had good tailwinds :D

Here she is in all her glory!

I believe it's going to have a formal pre-buy inspection by a T28 expert, in early January. I can't wait to get a ride in it :mrgreen:
