Sad to see it go, but, wow, talk about getting good use out of an airplane..

I can't imagine just parking my plane at a salvage yard and walking away.....

Suppose you're right about Collins, but ego has no age limit.

Well, I'm not particularly a fan, but I always thought he talked sense.
His style was always a bit too stodgy for me, but I never thought him an
asshole. That said, I hardly ever pick up a copy of Flying... I'm a big
fan of it before the name change, however!

Am I the only one that find this article self-serving?

In what way? Collins lost his butt in the deal, gave up his trusted old
airplane, and is facing his own advancing years. How did he benefit from
writing the article?

Hard to explain, but after a few sentences, that the feeling I got.

OK, I think his explanation not to sell it was to keep other pilots
from flying it was self-serving in a way that he thinks he's one of
the very few who can handle it (putting himself upon a pedestal) and
that his true reason is that he just can't justify the cost any longer
now that he has to pay for it out of his own pocket.
