I sent you photos when it first appeared, but i am terrible with time now that i am getting older. two or three years ago thae pilot was killed when he was ferrying a Cirrus acRoss the north atlantic. Shortly thereafter all work stopped on the plane. without maintenance corrosion appeared and i am told the doctor (owner) died and his heirs were not interested in puting any money into it it aCCUMULATED A STORAGE BILL and apparently also had a maintenance bill that had not been paid. The county and the mechanic foreclosed their liens and sold the aluminum to pay the biils. that is probably more than you wanted to know. unfortunately all airplanes must be flyABLE OR IN A HAngar as they can do a lot of damage during a hurricane. one of the joys of living in south florida. As hurricane season is close and the plane was not flyable, its future was sealed. for your files a coUPLE OF NOTES. I FINALLY SOLD n628AH after 25 years. it broke my heart, but parkinson disease keeps me grounded. i do not have the legal name of the buyer, but i will let you know as soon as i hear. you will be getting get a note from the FAA that N6289B is no longer registered.
