980 Questions

Ya JMA,
the photos are from last year during EAA Venture time.  Not sure who took the photos, but my retired business partner likes to hang out at the hanger every day and runs into people who like cars and planes. He has a tendency to bullshit a lot with people coming by as he is somewhat demented i suppose,  the government doesn't own her!  He has an illness of constantly buying cars and planes and always has some deals going it seems in his retirement. 
We still have 9812S and just got 3100 autopilot installed down in Peoria. Hopefully it will be ready to pickup in the next week or so.

The funny thing with N9812S is that even before Steve got it, that registration could not be tracked. And it wasn't like "The owner has disabled tracking on this", it was more clandestine than that, didn't even turn up. So my guess it was in Federal ownership before he owned it too.

Yes, I think it's back in this thread somewhere, but when the FBI had it, they had Downtown Airpark install an optically perfect side window so they could take pictures of aircraft registrations that they were following.
