Good, honest bankers , brokers , and backers who have been through many airplane acquisitions before will know the ropes and can guide you through the rough spots. Many times, people have fallen in love with a certain airplane type early on and will rush out to buy it, any one of it, as soon as they’re able. Believe me, stuff happens.

Day 1 Reposition It’s that time of year, annual inspection for our Commander. I helped hangar Anita and Dave’s Sierra then got a ride over to the Ocean City airport. We finished lunch then Mary ran me over to pick up my SUV at the hangar. After the inspection panels were removed he opened up the inside of 3 Tango Charlie.
