1978 Beechcraft T-34C, BUNO: 160516
Please read the entire description carefully.
NOTE: Both FAA return to service certification and estimated flight hours remaining are predicated on Fatigue Life Remaining, and whether Full Carry Through and AFB-70's are completed. It behooves the buyer to be cognizant of these requirements prior to bidding/acquisition, especially with respect to return to service.
The remaining hour calculations are based on the assumption that the aircraft continues to be flown at the current FLE burn rate as seen by the CNAF T-34 fleet. Aircraft remaining life drops dramatically if operators fly the aircraft to peak design limits.
