摘要

But Mark Meredith, a retired United States Navy A-6 Intruder bombardieravigator, disregarded the conclusion of the prepurchase inspection and bought the airplane anyway. He flew it with an instructor from Florida to his home in Maryland and earned a tailwheel endorsement along the way. The 1951 de Havilland Super Chipmunk in question had been involved in at least two landing mishaps over the years. It had served as a military trainer, crop duster, glider tow, and airshow performer, and it had been extensively altered. The airplane had flown on three continents (Europe, Australia, and North America), had seven coats of paint, and-although airworthy-was ragged and worn. "The mechanics that inspected the airplane all told the same scary stories," said Meredith, a 1979 U.S. Naval Academy graduate. "This was an airplane that had worked hard its whole life, and now it needed a thorough restoration. I wasn't deterred by that. I was looking for a project, and now I had one."
