Bill Anders T-34 Beechcraft N268FA

Footage from a few months ago at Bill Anders' museum in Washington State. Bill had three of these airplanes in his collection. Sadly he contacted water at full speed pulling out from a dive in N268AF on June 7 2024. He was near his home in the San Juan Islands.
Bill was a NASA astronaut who flew around the moon on Apollo 8. He went on to run General Dynamics through the years they developed the F-16.
He was 90 years old and died doing what he loved to do. Rest in peace Bill.

Sorry Not a wet wing. 22Gal Wing Bladders. And not Chrome Wing Tips. Polished Aluminum just like the entire plane. Cowling is fine. STC for larger motor requires offset Motor Mounts.

Wow that is a great comment reply. Thank-you. I was thinking about polishing that plane and I wonder how often they have to touch it up. The motor mount comment made sense immediately. Thanks again.
