What a shame to see a beautiful T-6 wrecked. I've seen the damage described as minor, but anytime you tear the gear out you should probably think of it has major. At the age of 80 it may be time for the General to hang up his spurs. I don't care who you are, the thought process and reflexs slow at that advanced age and has you all know with the "6" you need to be on the top of your game or she'll bite ya. I'd hate to see someone hurt or worse because he couldn't face that reality and some owner couldn't say no. This isn't just directly at Chuck, but everyone in that situation. We've had a couple friends call it quits out here in the Northwest for this very reason. Any further comments????
