Hello Cory, and Welcome!! I did things a little bit different when we were in search of a airplane last time. I knew what I wanted so I placed and ad in
Barnstormers [
barnstormers.com] describing my perfect airplane. And then I sat back and waited for the sellers to come to me. (Truth be known, I thought our perfect airplane was a pipe dream! An STOL aircraft capable of carrying two people with a minimum 700 pounds of useful load for under $25,000? DRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMM!! )
Anyways, it took a couple of months, but the perfect airplane did come a knocking on our door. It was never advertised for sale on the open market. In fact, Jeff D. and I sent quite a few messages back and forth deciding that the initial offer had to be a scam!! How wrong we were!!
When this particular airplane came a knocking, there also just happened to be some very wonderful people here on the club near by and willing to go and give it a looksie for me. And then another offered to ferry it from Texas to here in Oregon. Now? How could anybody ask for a better and smoother transaction then that??
