 |

This is interesting... (few Yak-52 and CJ in the market - in the U.S).
Considering the Thread earlier this week regarding concerning cost of ownership and of dropping market values of our airplanes due to rising fuel prices - I would offer the opinion that in the relatively near future, our aircraft value could go up in price... Why? you ask - because we are becoming much more attractive to the larger HP aircraft owner (T-6 and up) who really feel the fuel cost pinch, unless independently wealthy. I believe we will see more and more of those for sale soon as they migrate to the YAK/CJ. I see warbird market reacting similarly to the automotive market where you can get bargain prices on large SUVs and fancy Dullys and trucks while the economy cars' value rising steadily - time will tell but don't rush to sell your Yak or CJ just yet...
FWIW

As long as people keep importing CJ's and Yaks, supply will always be
ahead of demand. Most of the higher HP airplane drivers are in their
60's and 70's and will probably just retire rather than switch to some
"Commie Airplane" (their term not mine).

One other item no one is considering. The cost to get your CJ to a US port just nearly doubled due to the rising cost of fuel. A over height, open top container was running about 5K 3-4 months ago. I have a open top container on the water right now that is costing me 9K Beijing to Seattle.
