Does anyone know how the progress is coming along on the T-28 that had the landing gear failure at Ardmore some time back ?

Well you can always enjoy a really great cheap T-28 .. http://www.antsairplanes.com/

I think it's under repair at Pionair at Ardmore, haven't seen anything online to suggest that it's flown again

It is the, also typical thing with acquiring money .. parts maybe, fair few of them around.

I don't think they are doing that, It was minor more likely restored

It was in pretty good condition , I'm sure it would be just the cost of spare parts and maintenance thing and time.

I grantee, not that anything has been said but I don't think it would have been that bad. A few months work and a spot of paint and good as new. I read classic wings from time to time
its a small fortune to own any warbird even to buy a wreck that needs restoring. Currently there is a Harvard for sale $200,000. That is pretty cheap for a airplane when a late model 172
costs allot more.

That could cheap because engine overhaul (that is the pricey one) or airframe need attention course the operating cost is a lot higher.

I share a hangar with it - it is under repair.
