Vagabond for Sale

The mission is changing.
Here are the details and the asking price for a ShortWing person.
I can trade it for the new shortwing, but I doubt that he will keep it.
Rather see it go to a Vagabond fan.

This is a surprise.
Someone will get a really great Vagabond.
Good luck Dave.

Things change, I'm sure there will be second thoughts.
My favorite airplane so far!
Dave

[Steve Pierce]

Dave. That is too cheap.

[d.grimm]

I agree Steve.
Sold two friends J-3's last year for about the same price,
Both nice airplanes.
At least I don't have to worry about Capital Gains Taxes, ha ha.
I'll have another shortwing someday.

The Vagabond is gone, kind of sad.
I do think I was a good steward to
a piece of history, it was better when it left
than when I got it.

Not only have you made a piece of aviation history better, you've been a friend and asset to other folks on this site trying to do the same thing with their planes.

Thanks for all your selfless and informative help.
