Engine
This aircraft was purchase in the spring
of 2000 by Cliff Jensen
This was one of the TOP T-34s in the
country when Cliff bought it. Since that time Cliff has spent a
considerable amount to make it a truly exceptional T-34. (Between
the last two owners well over $500,000 has been spent on this
aircraft.) This is as close as you can get to a NEW T-34. If
Beech/Raytheon were building new ones it would cost more then that.
(Price a new B-36 Bonanza)
