Barron Thomas Ad for SKYMASTER

Check out this Skymaster ad that was in the most recent CONTROLLER ads.... Anyone see anything wrong with this ad???

Am I missing something here???

My guess:
1) Horrendous paint scheme
2) Orange velour interior
3) Ad is from 1975.

4. The need for a Multi-Engine Rating possibly? Read the sales text below the photo! I sure hate to think I spent all that time getting a ME Rating and training for nothing.... Ha Ha!!

If they actually get someone to buy it under those pretenses - they will have one unhappy customer!!

Barron is absolutely correct. No multi-engine rating is required to buy a Skymaster... Now, if you want to fly it...

Why, nothing at all.

Just make sure you count all of your fingers after you shake on the deal.

Speaking of Barron Thomas (is that for real, anyway.. I mean the 'Barron' bit!?), has anyone checked out the 1978 P337 he also has advertised on Controller and Trade-A-Plane? Not a bad price for the times and equipment... BUT... I notice he doesn't list the tail number, and that's really the FIRST thing that needs to be known to do some background checking... to avoid buying a pig-in-a-poke.

Anybody??
