Hi,

I am looking for a multi-engine piston airplane to use strictly for our school's maintenance training purpose. Anybody know who might sell this kind of multi airplane?
 
Barron Thomas might be a good place to start, a lot of what he sells is painted over bags of sh*t. You would be sure to get something that would keep your maintanance dept very busy.
 
Contact any owner of a 320 Skyknight with the TSIO 470 engines, they will probably be glad to talk to you.
 
Buy an old Twin Commanche. I almost got one, in flying condition, all legal, for $45k.

I've seen a couple on Ebay too. Great plane, and if you guys fix it up, it'll be worth more :) I saw one that had been geared up on Ebay go for .. less than $45k.

Get an old turbo seminole, if you can get one of those things to run right you got a good school ....

Four place twins don't count.

One step under Barron Thomas is with White Industries or any basic junk yard. They may even have something that is ferriable.
