Gang,
Big day here. Last night I got a call from OSH. I won the EAA
Sweepstakes 2005 Husky A1-B on floats.
http://www.airventure.org/2006/events/sweepstakes.html
The EAA will issue a 1099 in the amount of $250,000 for the prize
package. The tax bill seems to be 28%, or $70,000, and is due at delivery.
I will do that (obviously), but I'm not sure I want to tie up the money long term. I already have a flyer and a project, floatplane insurance is expensive, my daughter starts college next week, the house needs a new roof, blah, blah, blah...
I'm going to open the floor to offers of all kinds and see what happens. Anybody want to buy a new set of Wipline 2100 amphib floats? Want a 100 hour A1-B, with or without floats? Want to trade a nice Model 12 and pay the tax bill? Obviously I like RV-8's and F-1 Rockets. Also like the new fixed gear Lancair as well as classic round engine cabin airplanes. Don't care for conventional spam cans. Please, no silly proposals.
Never bought a lotto ticket in my life, but I sent in lots of those little EAA sweepstakes tickets. Hey, dumb luck is better than no luck at all <g>
