Some of those Russkie trainers / stunt planes are fine aircraft and seem to be a pretty good bargain - considering.
There's a car dealer here in Indy who bought a Vultee BT 13 training plane and had it on the dealership roof as a "Looky-here" attraction. They were going to sell it to me for $500. (1971) I was psyched, 'cause I could actually afford it! It had at least one engine; I think 2. It had been converted from a 2-place trainer (original) to a single-seat which gave it sort of a cool fighter look. ...If you didn't know better, that is.
Well, I started looking into expenses and re-build costs. Mom had been a stewardess with Lake Central Air Lines (what remained became US Air) and she had a good friend, Cpt. Dean Leming who had been her favorite pilot. Captain Dean had flown "the Hump" in C-47s during WW Twice. He, Dad (a former Navy fighter/dive bomber/torpedo/Air-Sear rescue pilot) and I went to inspect the plane. Dean started pointing out things that had to be modified, relaying hanger/parking fees, etc and ... well ... my dreams of becoming a $500 Warbird owner flew right out the window!
It's real shame to see ANY crash.
I don't know what ever happened to that plane - I never got the "N" number or I'd look it up. It prob'ly got scrapped.
