We almost got engines!

It was close - the deal for low hour engines/props off a DC3 was tentatively made - Don & Marg Wieben and Brian & Karen Wilson were packed and ready to go to Oshkosh, WI to run the engines, check oil screens, leak test cylinders and hopefully remove everything from the aircraft when we got concerned about the overhaul history and long idle times on the engines.  It was a tough decision as these were exactly the right engines and props and the price seemed fair.

Our Canso Crew discussion was also based on the fact that it would be at least a year before the engines would be needed and existing funds can certainly be used to complete other scheduled repairs.
