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. Total hours - 17,450.7 Fatigue life remaining - 7.85% Estimated flight hours remaining - 1,303.55 Forward Carry Through (FCT) conducted - Yes AFB-70 Complete - Yes Engine hours since new - 15,294.9 Engine hours since overhaul - 1,818.8 Prop hours since new - 5,517.4 Prop hours since overhaul - 511.8 Last major inspection, prop (phase 1) - 10Jun2014 Last major inspection, prop (phase 2) - 14Aug2014 Last major inspection, engine (phase 1) - 10Jun2014 Last major inspection, engine (phase 2) - 14Aug2014 Engine SERNO CE58310 Aircraft was inducted into AMARG 2 Jun 2015 in long-term preservation at Davis-Monthan AF base. **WARNING TO BIDDER: Aircraft is offered AS-IS/WHERE-IS with no spares.
