As some of you may know from other posts, I've been looking for an straight tail 182. I'm about to have my second one fall through after being under contract. If anyone knows of one that maybe isn't listed yet or isn't already on the online databases, please let me know. Thank you!!

Best Wishes - Good ones, as you have discovered are becoming hard to find. Great choice of airplane!

I know! I want to grab one and hold on for the next 20 years

Someone posted recently that "BirdyinBOI" had passed away unexpectedly.
At the rush of sounding rather vulture-like,
his 182 might be going up for sale at some point.
Contacting bereaved family members is a rather awkward situation though,
so probably best to let some time go by first.

I’ve been thinking about this ^^^ post. Just not right. How about deleting it. Thanks.

Come on man really? I know you have some sort of pathological need to post a reply to every single thread on this forum but seriously? You don't think the rest of us could figure this out on our own? Maybe you should start counting to 10 before you hit the submit button...

Hey there! I know of a 58’ that is a real good looking plane. Friend of mine has it here in KBNO, might be a real good candidate. Beautiful crushed velvet, with lovely seafoam green yokes!

Any info you could pass would be great. Thank you.

Wow, crushed velvet!

All that one needs is a chandelier hanging from the ceiling and a scantly clad girl in the passenger seat...

Not a straightail but you should really look at that 182K on Barnstormers now in TX

Dont see the 182K anywhere. Was it this one you were talking about?

Nice looking plane

I can't figure out how to send you a PM.... most users here have a little PM button below their user name but a couple don't. I wonder why....

edit: He pm'd me... message transmitted

Ington6, it went away pretty quickly. Not sure if it was bought locally or seller had remorse once seeing his add. FWIW check the “for sale” sites several times a day and remember, you’re not the only one looking for a plane. It is a sellers mkt and you have to be quick on the calls. Good luck!

Ington6, sorry and no that was not the one. It had a low time engine and was $82k

I know where one is in Texas. Think it has a recent overhaul. I don’t know the owner but a buddy of mine does.
