Description
This is a beautiful full restoration by 8 time Oshkosh wrench winner, Neil Weaver. The aircraft has just undergone the installation of a RAM factory overhaul IO550 with upgraded crank and cam shaft at 1165 TTAF hours since its full ground up restoration. Just about every option desired is on this T-34 from ADSB in/out, Osborn tip tanks, Aspen with GPSS, STEC A/P with altitude/Nav/app modes, a Scott oxygen system and a smoke system. This plane has never been judged at Airventure. It's probably about time another of Neil's jewels makes the trip. His great details, inside and out, are clearly viewed in the photographs (click and expand). Always hangered and comes with maintenance (see docs) and NATOPS manuals. The livery is of VMFAT-101 stationed now as the F-18/F-35 RAG at MCAS Miramar and is a tribute to Navy/ Marine carrier aviation. There is a photo near the ending of the photo gallery depicting the current VMFAT-101 T-34C's at that squadron. VMFAT- fixed wing, Marine, Fighter-Attack,Training 101.
