When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members. If not, why support someone who doesn't support us? Consider spending your money elsewhere.

NEVER, EVER book a hunt with BLAIR WORLDWIDE HUNTING or JEFF BLAIR.

I have come to understand that in hunting, the goal is not the goal but the process.

My sentiments too.

If I had to make a blanket statement, I would say that a $200,000 airplane selling for $50,000 is probably going to need $150,000 worth of work. If it was a bargain a local would have purchased it.

At least it was not a confiscated drug runner:

No skin off my butt, but you obviously don't understand how the government is currently disposing of excess property. It was not for sale locally.

About right for a high time POS like that one. The Warrior may well be one of the most under capable airplanes ever built.

I used to instruct in one many years ago and I HATE that airplane.

Learned to fly in a Warrior and thought it was an OK airplane. Liked the Arrow and my 177RG better though.

The PA-28-151 Piper Warrior was the first brand new airplane I ever flew, and KX-170B's for radios. It was also the first airplane I was paid to fly. All in all its not a bad airplane, thou I like the Archer a little better. If I was going to buy an airplane I think I would go with an Archer.36K is not a bad price, thou with the amount of time on the AF and what is left for times on the engine and Prop, Maybe its a tad high. But somebody bought it.
