Hello everyone. I was wandering where can I go to check out planes for sale? Or some abandoned planes that’s possible to get for free? (I know they will not fly, will probably cost a lot to fix)
I’m an ex engineer, really interested in planes and thinking to start restoring/repairing one.
Thank you.

You’re going to spend about 10x more money on a “free” abandoned plane than you will on a used one that has a current inspection

Just a suggestion, if you’re not really interested in actually flying the plane (i.e. as a pilot), you might just want to check out some of the high end RC plane kits. As an engineering hobby (to keep you busy and mentally stimulated), RC planes can be a lot of fun and much much much less red tape, but still some.
Wasn’t there a thread on here pretty recently that said foreigners can’t own planes in Japan?
