It looks like the guy that wrote about the lousy soft L-29 market  started
some good banter.
Unfortunately he is right on the mark!  The market has dropped about  $20K on
L-29's over the winter.  Example the L-29 that sold for $60K would  be
difficult to sell for $40K in today's market.  Good news however, the  oil
future
markets took a beating today saying there is a oil  surplus!   Hopefully that
will work its way down to a kerosene price  drop this summer.

Ya, kerosene used to be .80 a gallon and over the course of a year jumped  to
$2.75 a gallon out here in Reno, Nevada and that keeps me from flying much  
more than once a month.

There are  3 L-29 owners out here on the west coast that got  together a few
weeks ago and flew over the Golden Gate and Alcatraz and the  Marin Headlands
and we had a great time although it ended up being approximately  a$1,500.00
day for me which is a lot of money to blow out the  tail pipe.  I had a back
seater that threw $600.00 at the  cause.
I fly the 757/767 to Hawaii and flying the L-29 still brings a bigger smile  
to my face than landing a 767 Heavy in SFO!
