Im not sure how serious he is but it got me to poking around at them again. The performance is salivating but the mx seems daunting unless you have a good shop near you. I only know of one A* based near me and the mechanic who wrenched on it isn’t someone I’d trust. It’s good to know there’s a shop in PA but it’s still farther than I’d prefer to have to go. Is there a list of all the reputable A* service centers in the US?

The Aerostar Owners Association keeps a current list, but you have to become a member, which might not be what you want to do before you've committed.

No… it’s the exact opposite… it’s exactly what you want to do well before you commit and even then you will have only scratched the surface. There is a lot to owning any legacy aircraft. You want to go into it with your eyes open as much as you can get them. The good thing is Aerostar Aircraft Corporation fully supports the aircraft. They own the type certificate. As in pretty much anything, you pay for what you get and even then there is no guarantee you are not going to pump in a whole lot of money to get any legacy aircraft where you want it. It is what it is.
Juliet Delta Aviation is an hour an twenty minute flight from Cleveland via Aerostar. It’s a six hour drive.
