In reply top T-6 parts posted by Jim H on Mon Dec 17, 2001 03:50:17 PM

Lance Aircraft is based in Dallas. They have most of the assemblies for the T-6, but even they are running out of some of the fairings etc (at least new ones).

The price of T-6s is all over the map. I would be interested in seeing the one for 100k. I bet it needs some work. Stars and Bars is based at our airport and all they do is T-6s. I see 30-40 different ones in various states of disassembly each year. Their condition varies greatly. Some have not been maintained well since they left the military, and needs lots of work when a knowledgable T-6 guy starts working on them.

When I bought my airplane there were several items on it that would have eventually killed me if the guys at Stars and Bars hadn't found them. Too many T-6s have been maintained by "Cessna" mechanics for too long...
