Hi Tom,

Where are you located? Anywhere near billings MT? I am not a wealthy
individual so forgive me for asking, but what would you normally
charge for your services? I have to make this move on a limited
budget and hauling it home in a truck is looking like the most cost
effective. I offered to assist the A&P in MT on the annual but he
hasn't even agreed to do an annual.. access to tools and suitable
facilities may be a problem. Getting the annual would be great
because then maybe I could get the needed dual to fly the thing home
myself. Ferry permit would be fine if I had a qualified pilot along
and can get insurance. I would like to be on the trip as well. FSDO
would probably approve but I don't know for sure yet.

Thanks for the interest and help Tom !

Matt

Tom you could be the answer to my prayers.
My ideal scenario would be for you to come to Billings and look the plane over, help me get it in annual, test fly it, check me out in it, and then send me on my way home to GA in a safe plane with insurance coverage. Funds are limited but I do have some reserve money to help make this move. I don't know if I can afford you, but we should certainly talk. I am not an A&P but have been working on airplanes forever and have assisted on many annuals including my own. I will be there to do all of the grunt work if you just want to supervise. I was plannig to go up there next week to start the process but have not been able to get everything organized. The weather is getting bad and I have to get it out of MT soon.

I have been looking at your videos and web site for months while I was searching for this plane. Your trip home was an adventure. The 24 is a beautiful classic and your's is a standout. Great job.

Regards,

Matt
