If you are interested in buying this aircraft, please fill out the form below. The aircraft is based in San Marcos, TX (KHYI). If you want to schedule a time to see the aircraft, let me know when you’ll be in the area and I’ll contact you to coordinate. I’m not a broker, and I have a full time job (and a new kid), so please understand we may both have to work to accommodate each other’s schedules.
This was the first aircraft I ever bought. If you are just absolutely sure this is the airplane for you, and you don’t want it to get sold to someone else, a small non-refundable option fee ($500) that will be credited to your purchase should you proceed, plus a 10% escrow deposit (refundable if you decide not to go through with the purchase before the option period is up), and a signed and accepted purchase contract will hold the airplane for 15 days (the option period), at which point you can back out and get your escrow deposit back, amend your offer (i.e require I fix something as a condition of sale), or proceed with the sale. After the 15 days, the escrow deposit is non-refundable as well.
Also, if I accept your contract, we can arrange a demo flight during your 15 day option period. Demo flights will be about 30 minutes, and depending on your level of experience may be from either the front of back seat. For those that think they might just get a $500 T-34 ride, there are cheaper ways….
You can download my proposed contract below. It’s modeled after the contract that is used in Texas to sell real estate. It gives you a reasonable time period to have the airplane inspected, have me fix any required squawks, and keep the airplane from being sold out from underneath you. It is also designed to discourage “tire kickers”.
However, if you’ve got another way you’d like to go, I’m all ears. Just keep in mind that without an option fee and deposit, I may decide at any time to take another offer.
I’ve already set up an escrow account with a reputable aviation escrow company, and I will pay all escrow fees for any transaction.
I’m looking forward to helping you get into this awesome warbird. I’ve loved owning it, and I know you will too.
