Yikes Gary! Do you wanna come up and take Mr. Ed back so to get a thourgh inspection?

Just don't let your enthusiasm over ride your gut instincts.
Bill, Sure, if you're willing to foot the bill again.
As for the second quote, my gut instincts were, "I ain't flying this thing all the way to Oregon without doing a good inspection." My enthusiasm said, "The hell with it...you only live once!" Yee Haw!
I can certainly understand the emotions of buying a plane. I'm only on my second one, but I was way more cautious with my first one. The purchase followed a thorough pre-buy by myself that was literally an annual inspection with lots of repairs and new parts. The second one was, I'm sad to say, pretty much bought months before I actually laid my eyes on her. At least my buying buddy didn't try to talk me out of it. I think now he wishes he would have...I think he'd like to have had her.
This guy is only looking for the paperwork to complete the sale, not advice on how fast (or not) to proceed with the acquisition. So, I'll leave my two cents out of it and wish you luck with this new plane. Wayne Westerman always tells me not to fall in love with another guy's woman or plane. Guess I've been busted on both counts...
If you're successful in buying this object of your affection, rest assured we'll be here to help you through the teething pains. Remember, if it flies, floats, or..............
