The buyer didn’t divulge he had a partner in the deal when he made the offer. Once it was accepted he was supposed to deliver a deposit check. He was honest and let my friend know his partner couldn’t deliver his share. No worries. It’s a very nice plane and he got to the seller at a soft moment. They missed out on a very special deal.
It is difficult to sell anything but down coats around here this time of year. The airport is a ghost town except for guys with hangars huddling around propane heaters inside and sipping hot coffee. (That would be me). It’s a good time to take care of small maintenance items. I did take 52Q out for .7 hours on Friday though. Severe clear and 38 degrees F. Density altitude was -1500 feet I think and slight wind down the runway. With two of us on board and 12 gallons of fuel she was climbing at 900 FPM! I wouldn’t swear it but I spied the needle hit 1000. Yippee! It felt soooo goood to be aloft and away from this crazy world for a little while. Dang...
