So I just had a conversation something like this:
"Now that he's gone, do you have any idea what Dad's old plane is worth?"
"What year is it?"
"Really old."
"Do you have the logbooks."
"After he died, we cleaned the house and hangar and threw out anything with no value."
"Aircraft logbooks?"
"Gone."
"sigh, probably were worth about $15,000 at minimum. Who did the maintenance?"
"Dad."
So, I am wondering, assuming the aircraft is physically airworthy, what would it take to get it legally airworthy? If not, does it have any salvage value? Mind you, I haven't seen the plane.
