    Final out on N928JP

    Your post is a pot shot against the NTSB, who is merely stating as a matter of fact that a piece of evidence was stolen and therefore could not be analyzed. It's not up to you, or internet con artists, to decide whether evidence is relevant or not.

    1960's Piper 180.. Scrap Price or Part out?
