It Found Its Way Back Home

[Wyandot Jim]

Hey Guys,
The Piper Pacer that I restored and did several modifications to has found its way home. The guy that we sold it to in 2019 wasn't flying it much and he decided to sell it. He called Son and me to see if we were interested in buying it. Well yep sure are.

Around the patch.

In 2017

And some of us here think collecting a gun or two is a big deal......

Sweet! So how does it work, do you fly to get it, or does he fly it to your location?

Was he local to begin with?

We flew to get it. He kept it on his ranch in the Comfort Texas area along the Guadalupe River.

It looks like he took exceptional care of it!

I told my wife that about boats when I bought my second. Later when I bought a kayak she said you already had enough boats. I told her, she already had enough jewelry. Haven't heard a word since.

It has been converted to an O-320A1A which is 150HP. It started life in 1952 with a 125HP O-290. That extra HP helps a bunch.

I once owned a Cessna 120 with an O-290 shoehorned into it. It was just silly, great desert airplane.

My wife asked me "Why do you have so many guns? You can only shoot one at a time". I replied, "Why do you have so many shoes?".

Beautiful little plane there. Glad to see she came home.

Really nice. I’ve seen plenty of Tri Pacers back in my flying days, but not many Pacers. Neat.
