N949RE - 1982 Beechcraft King Air B200

"I was more than thrilled by response and ease of working with AirMart. We signed the contract on Thursday, had the listing up on your sight by the weekend and had three interested parties Monday morning, and it was sold a week later. Start to finish 3 weeks! It doesn't get any better than that."

"You guys were professional, made the process simple and easy. Returned my calls and answered all my questions and concerns in a timely fashion. Outstanding customer service team. Thank you for assisting in purchasing an aircraft, we will look forward to doing business again with you."

"Cathy and I would like to thank each of you for your help. You have all made this a pleasant and wonderful experience! You are all true professionals in your field."

The is the second time I have dealt with AirMart and they didn’t disappoint. Their people are professional and courteous, the sale was easy and seamless just like last time. 

“Annie at AirMart made what otherwise could have been a stressful and complicated set of transactions, easy and transparent. She was proactive in her communication and responsive to any questions I had. Would definitely use them again.”

Our Experience with AirMart was a good one. Grant and his staff were responsive both before and after the sale. Everything they said they would do, they did. We would definitely use AirMart again given the chance.

“My experience with AirMart was seamless and stress free.  They handled all of the heavy lifting and got me what I was looking for from a price standpoint."

“I tried another national broker prior to using AirMart.  Log entries were not properly classified, damaging the marketability of my aircraft.  They didn't know the market on Malibu aircraft and priced me way out of the market, making it nearly impossible to generate interest.  They were not responsive to calls and didn't do anything beyond simply placing my aircraft information on the web.  Everyone does that and you can do that from home, so what separated AirMart from the others?  Grant represented my plane well, correcting mistakes from the prior broker and overcoming the damage done by the prior broker and he was readily available when I called.  AirMart understands Malibu's and knows the market.  He contacted me on a regular basis giving me updates (good and bad) on the progress of the sale.  He helped me to see my aircraft in a different light, giving me a reality check on the asset I was selling - which enabled me to be proactive in setting a realistic price to get my aircraft sold.  While I wasn't happy with the final price of my aircraft, I'm confident it was more than likely what the market would bear and in the end, it was my decision to accept the offer.  I now own a nearly new Malibu and when the time comes to get it sold, AirMart will be my choice to get the job done.”

"A great transaction, Heather did a wonderful job."

I had a great experience in dealing with AirMart. Adam Mabry and everyone else at AirMart did an amazing job in helping to sell my airplane. The pictures, video, and advertising were terrific. Adam did an excellent job keeping me informed during the whole process. The plane sold quickly and with AirMart guiding us through the closing it was very convenient and painless. I won't hesitate to use these guys in the future for my next aircraft transaction.

"Cindy and Heather- Thank you for your assistance in my purchase. The aircraft was exactly as described, and the purchase could not have gone better. Heather was a professional in every sense, and communication with her was easy - through various texts, phone calls, and e-mails. I ended up meeting the owner and closing the very next morning. Thanks again."

"Working with Bob was fantastic.  He was able to work through a number of challenges around the sale to make it as smooth as possible, and he stuck around until the plane was in my hands to make sure everything was in great shape. Given the work he put in, I'm definitely going to check out AirMart if and when I decide to sell my plane!"

"My experience purchasing a Cirrus SR22 from AirMart was what I would expect from a highly professional, skilled broker. The AirMart experience was precise and punctual. Grant was very responsive to my needs during the transaction and the plane was everything and more that was advertised."

I could not ask for a better purchasing experience! The AirMart staff was very helpful and kept us up to date on each process all the way to close. We will certainly use AirMart again in the future.

"AirMart was great and bent over backwards to make the deal go through smoothly and quickly. I hope to do business with AirMart again."

My family and I recently purchased our first airplane from AirMart and they made the entire experience a pleasure from start to finish. Bob went above and beyond in making a complicated process feel simple and approachable; he was proactive, available night and day, and completely transparent and accurate in all of our correspondence. Bob and the AirMart team worked around our schedule and made us feel like we were their most valuable client. I highly recommend doing business with AirMart.

"Doing business with Air Mart was a very pleasurable experience. The attention to detail and concern you have for your customers goes well beyond expectations and is nothing less than exemplary. You can rest assured that everyone I come in contact with, relating to aviation, hears about AirMart and when I am ready to trade I will be back."

"It was great dealing with AirMart. This was the very first plane I purchased and he made it smooth and simple, from my initial call to the final closing. If I ever decide to change or upgrade planes in the future I will definitely do it with AirMart. In addition, dealing with AIC Title was smooth and easy."

"AirMart sold my Aircraft fast! Heather did a great job and communicated the whole way."

"I would like to express my appreciation to the staff at AirMart for the wonderful customer service I received when purchasing my newly acquired Cherokee 6. Heather displayed the highest professionalism and provided the sound advice I needed in making the purchasing decision. From my initial inquiry about the aircraft to following up after the purchase, her friendliness, expertise, and attention to detail was second to none. Thank you for your quality customer service and if I purchase another aircraft, AirMart will be my first shopping stop."

“Working with AirMart was a pleasure. Each person I encountered was exceptional in their professionalism and helpfulness. I felt they went above and beyond finding the perfect plane for me. I would most definitely work with AirMart again in the future.”

"I have used the services of AirMart for several years and several transactions. The products the sell are top notch. They deliver what they say. I recommend them highly!"

This was my first Aircraft purchase and with the market plays in force made the decision to purchase from the States and import to Australia a rather attractive one. After much searching I settled on a 182T being marketed by AirMart. I found dealing with Grant and Nancy of Airmart to be extremely easy and straight forward. They were very helpful in assisting me through the process including recommendations for pre-purchase inspections and suitable Pilots to relocate the Aircraft etc. I found their marketing strategy of providing videos and photographs very helpful. Grant also showed great honesty and integrity by advising of some very small but minor damage that wasn't at all recognizable in photo's and video's. I would have no hesitation in recommending Grant, Nancy and AirMart to any one looking to purchase an aircraft.

"Thank you for your help selling my plane. You were a steady hand throughout the process, and I really appreciated your professionalism and wise counsel."

"I must say that you guys have really exceeded every expectation I could have ever hoped for. Absolutely tremendous service! I was very pleased on how you so accurately described the Commander and how far and above you went to make it a presentable airplane. So often today it seems as though you pay too much and get little in return, not so with you guys!! I'm just amazed at how accommodating everybody was during my visit. Honest, friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. Even the Title Company you used was a pleasure to work with. I can not emphasize enough on how pleased I was with every aspect of the transaction! Beautiful facilities as well!"

I wanted to take a moment to comment on the outstanding experience purchasing Cessna 172S. I could not have asked for better treatment as a client/customer. I coordinated the sale through Adam Mabry with an assist from Annie on the administrative side and their professionalism, courtesy and enthusiasm throughout the process was a 1st class act. The experience reflects highly on them, the company leadership, and AirMart. Special thanks also go to the Maintenance staff for getting the airplane in beautiful condition mechanically and aesthetically for the trip home. I also tip my hat in thanks for going above and beyond in taking care of the customer (me) and remedying a non-required (per contract) maintenance issue post-buy. AirMart's act of under-promising and over-delivering was surprisingly refreshing and made me feel important and appreciated as a client. Thanks to Adam, Annie and the rest of the AirMart Team. I'll be back and will be referring friends.

I highly recommend AirMart and the stellar team I worked with including Adam, Grant and Annie, to name a few. My first Cirrus purchase at AirMart was my first aircraft purchase ever. The buying experience was fantastic, especially considering my inexperience at buying an airplane for the first time. AirMart handled the process beautifully at all stages with excellent recommendations for financing, insurance, pre-buy, and transition instruction. I was even connected with a Cirrus Standardized Instructor Pilot (CSIP) for transition training under the Cirrus Embark program which was phenomenal and boosted my confidence and safety in operating my new airplane; as an added benefit, the cost of instruction was covered by Cirrus. When I landed at my home airport, I was greeted by compliments from my FBO friends for my great looking plane. For first time buyers or long-time owners, I strongly recommend the team at AirMart for their professionalism and support. You will be happy you went with AirMart!

"You made selling my aircraft easy and uneventful. I was updated frequently on the progress of the sale. Thank you for all your help."

"I was pleased both buying and selling! Good work."

“This was a straightforward and well-coordinated sale of my aircraft. Everyone involved was friendly, efficient and professional. Communications were great and the system to ensure funds and title transfer were seamless. No one was “pushy”… plenty of flexibility and willingness to work on my schedule. Given the professionalism, technical competence, and straight shooting style, I’d consider AirMart first for either buying, or selling, an aircraft!”

"You were patient and helpful in choosing the Archer III because I hadn't owned an airplane for 20 years and wasn't sure what I wanted. You then sold me an airplane that is perfect for my needs at a reasonable price. After I got home with the plane and found that an antenna was defective, you insisted on paying for the repair. I don't think you could have done better, and I can't imagine buying an airplane from anyone else."

"AirMart led me through my first aircraft purchase with a lot of patience and excellent guidance. The aircraft was fairly priced , and the staff addressed all needs in a timely and friendly manner. I would recommend AirMart to anyone!"

I can't speak more highly of you, Grant and your team. Absolutely top notch service and follow through despite my busy schedule. Please pass this message on to your team and let them know-I truly appreciate all their help!

"The folks at AirMart did what they said they could do and more. My plane sold in less than 3 weeks and close to my asking price. I was also out of the country during the entire transaction which would normally make things much more complicated, it didn't. A very professional experience. Thank you!"

"I really appreciate the effort Jad and Grant put forth in assisting me with the purchase of my first plane. They made the process smooth and simple from start to finish."

Please convey my deepest gratitude to you and the AirMart team for the excellent service provided from the day I decided to sell my airplane. Your professionalism is permeates to every member of the team -from the competent ferry pilot, to your sales persons, to your office staff. After a reasonable short period and four qualified offers later, I received the funds without a glitch as you went above and beyond my expectations.

“As first time aircraft purchasers the amount of paper work, inspections, etc., etc. was a bit daunting. Fortunately, the AirMart team has been through this process enough to help us feel comfortable from beginning to end. A friendly, knowledgeable staff covered all the bases start to finish. It was a pleasure to meet the phone and email “voices” face to face in Lexington when we took delivery. A very nice facility. We would definitely consider using AirMart if we ever consider selling or trading in the future.”

"This plane was purchased "sight unseen" at the recommendation of a local CFI who has purchased many planes for his students from this company over the years. From the first minute of my interaction with the staff I was reassured, comfortable, and upon receipt of my plane, ecstatic. The process for purchase was flawless. The plane was all that was promised and more. The salesman's representation of the plane was honest, unembellished, informed, and precise. Frankly, this transaction could not have been better. These people are professional and trustworthy. If you find the plane you are looking for is on their website, STOP. Call them."

I am a new to the aviation world. Knowing which aircraft will fit both your needs and your wants is one thing, where and who to get it from is another. Who do you trust? When an aircraft I was in the market for came up for sale at AirMart, everyone I talked to said they would be great to do business with. I will say that my experience from start to finish was very professional, well organized and overall top notch. Even after the sale, they have been extremely helpful with any need I have had. If I ever upgrade, I will use them again!

"As a first time airplane buyer I was very apprehensive. I had help and guidance from AOPA and from my friends and my instructor at my local FBO. But I was very fortunate to come upon an airplane that was listed with Jeff Ray through AirMart. I had several terrific conversations with Jeff and he gave me more than simply information about his listings. He also listened to my needs and wants and he also gave me a great deal of practical advice and guidance about the entire purchase process. I believe Jeff is a man of integrity which was hard to find in my previous dealings with other brokers and owners. Once we put the plane under contract I had the pleasure of dealing with Shelby at AirMart who was wonderful and helpful. I know I will be doing business again with AirMart in the future. I can highly recommend that you do the same!"

"I recently purchased a Cessna Turbo 210 through AirMart. I would never have made it through this long and, at times, very frustrating purchase had it not been for the patience and professionalism of the staff at AirMart and in particular the hard work of Heather. Her commitment to detail was always on full display. Without hesitation, I would use them again and highly recommend them for both selling or purchasing your next aircraft"

"I thought in this economy it would take months to sell my Piper 6X. Grant had it sold in 2 weeks! He and his entire staff are a first class organization who value truth and integrity."

"I have now dealt with Airmart on two occasions. Both times, everything was handled in such a professional, stress-free way, and everything was smooth as glass. Grant and the rest of the Airmart team are A-1. Thanks for the great service."

"AirMart appraised my airplane that sold for top dollar. They also made recommendations that I complied with to get top dollar. I would use AirMart in the future to sell another airplane because they are highly professional people who deliver!"

“I have personally owned seven aircraft.  This was my second airplane from a broker and my first time using an escrow service.  Everything AirMart did was first class and everyone who worked there was absolutely focused on making the process smooth and easy for me.  There was never any pressure.  It was a laser focus on how to make the process work for me.  It was a pleasure buying a plane from them.  I want to personally thank Adam for being straight with me about the plane I was buying.  There were no surprises when I flew away.  I also want to thank Annie, who works diligently in the background, making sure everything works.  All in all, a great experience.”

"It was a pleasure purchasing my Cessna 182T from AirMart. Tom Ferguson and Heather Hammond where excellent to deal with. Very knowledgeable, pleasant and trustworthy. Every question I asked was answered promptly. There were no hard sell tactics. They delivered everything from the paperwork to the plane in a timely manner. If there is ever another airplane purchase in my future my first call will be to AirMart! I highly recommend dealing with AirMart.

Having recently made the agonizing decision to sell my beloved Cherokee SIX 260, I decided to solicit Air Mart to facilitate the sale. The aircraft served me well over the years providing speedy transportation for myself, my wife and all five children up and down the east coast. From start to finish the folks at Air Mart were professional, courteous, and knowledgeable, after legal paperwork and advertisement they had people standing in line to buy. Thanks so much Bob and Annie for a great job. PS: might see you guys in the spring for something smaller...

AirMart handled my Malibu sale from start to finish in a professional manner. The marketing efforts were first class. Their control of the entire process was very well done.

“I was looking for a Centurion and Adam called me out of the blue and said he had one that wasn’t even on the market yet. It turned out to be exactly what I wanted. I was so impressed that he remembered the type of plane I was interested in and had the system to recall potential customers. The first time I talked with him was a few years before. This contrasted with other agents I called during my search; many of these didn’t even return calls. How can you sell a plane (or anything) and not communicate with a potential buyer? After deciding to buy the Centurion, I listed my Mooney with him and essentially had it sold within a week! The process was very smooth. They took care of everything, and the fee was reasonable.”

"In over a year of looking at used aircraft, Grant was the first seller to accurately describe what he had to sell. In fact, everyone who looked at the Archer agreed that, inside and out, it is better than what he described. The AirMart representatives with whom I dealt were professional, thorough, and pleasant."

"The reason I initially selected AirMart for an aircraft purchase was their willingness to accept my former aircraft as a trade-in. The reason I will select them for future trades and/or purchases is their meticulous attention to all details of the trade/purchase to include prompt responses to all of my many e-mail questions. I did not purchase one of AirMart's higher priced aircraft; however, I still received all of the attention and advice that I would have expected had I purchased the most expensive aircraft in their inventory. Jeff Ray was especially helpful by informing me of every step involved in the process. I also appreciate the very thorough annual inspection and careful detailing of the aircraft before it was delivered to me. I'll be back! "

“Having been looking for an used Cessna Skylane for a few months I was delighted to find AirMart's inventory not only reasonably priced but also of very high quality compared to the rest of the market. AirMart team did excellent job representing the airplanes with accurate spec sheets, high quality pictures and logbooks always readily available. When a superb Skylane showed up on the web site, I called Grant immediately.  From the first call to delivery it took just about 10 days, with Grant, Matt, Annie helping every step of the way. Everyone is very responsive and helpful over email and phone. When I arrived at AirMart the staff was friendly and professional, and I found the plane exactly as advertised and it was in pristine condition. I'm very pleased with the entire experience and would highly recommended AirMart.”

This is my second experience with AirMart and like the first one, it was a pleasurable experience. All of their staff are very professional and easy to do business with.

"My experience with AirMart was a great turn-key experience. The entire AirMart team provided support all the way to closing."

"I have been flying for 10 years but I have always rented. When the time came to buy my first aircraft I wanted the experience to be seamless and trouble free. After I decided that the right aircraft for my mission and budget was a Piper Archer II I scanned the market for almost a year until I found the right one with AirMart. Since the moment I contacted them to the day I flew my Archer II away from their location at Lexington, they exceed my expectations at every step of the way. When the time is right to upgrade my newly acquired flying machine I know where to look first, AirMart."

"I would like to say a big “Thank You” to everybody at AirMart. I have purchased a good number of airplanes (new and used) over the last MANY years. Most of the experiences have been pretty good. Unfortunately, a few have been not so good. The professional approach by the whole gang at AirMart has made the buying experience just plain fun! If the flying Gods deem that there is another airplane in my future, then I’m calling Grant and the gang to make it happen. Thanks for all of your collective professionalism."

“Our flying club was interested in upgrading one of our planes. After contacting Grant to get initial information, I got our buying committee together to have Grant show us the plane using FaceTime. Everything up to this point was going a bit better than expected. Then it got better! AirMart’s team of professionals got involved from inspections, setting up the escrow, document disclosures, internet signing tools and a thorough checkout in the plane, to the final delivery they used their expertise to make this deal come together with amazing efficiency. I know a lot work went on behind the scenes to make the deal come together so seamlessly. AirMart will be our first call on our next airplane acquisition!"

"Thank you for the wonderful experience I had with the purchase of my 2002 Archer III. Heather Goeing did a great job of keeping me informed of the progress of the engine rebuild and painting that was performed on the plane prior to my purchase. This was my first aircraft purchase and hopefully will not be my last, but I would highly recommend AirMart to anyone."

“Doing business with you guys was a great and easy experience.   The plane was as good if not better than described and we are super happy with it.   If we ever buy another one, we will start looking at AirMart from the start.  Thanks again Bob!”

"My experience with your company was above expectations. In a day and time when most companies and/or people don't always fulfill their obligations, you did that and more. Thank you so much for the smooth transaction. I would definitely do business with AirMart again and recommend you to my friends."

"I would like to express my appreciation to the staff at AirMart for making the sale of my aircraft very pleasant and efficient. I worked primarily with Heather and she was very professional and helpful. She expedited everything from logistics, to a few minor mechanical glitches using Mustang Aviation to resolve those issues. I found both organizations to be very good to work with. If I decide to buy or sell an aircraft in the future, you can rest assured, AirMart will be my go to contact!"

"I have done a few airplane deals with Grant and the AirMart crew over the past 4 years. They are my go to people when I do not have the time to find the exact plane I am looking for. The airplanes are always better than what was represented. AirMart does a fantastic job locating clean, low time airplanes. I highly recommend Grant and his entire staff. The purchases are always trouble free."

"This will be the second plane I have purchased from AirMart and the experience, as always, exceeded my expectations. I had purchased the plane without ever seeing it, other than pictures. I felt comfortable doing this because I have complete confidence that the airplane will be in as good if not better condition than what they had described. Sure enough, the plane was in very good condition, just as AirMart had said. I have sold two airplanes by AirMart as well and the experience was outstanding on both occasions. With great leadership and a professional sales team, you can always expect World Class Service from them."

“The team at AirMart is VERY professional and accommodating. We had a very complicated transaction, but they stayed on top of it and ahead on communications. I always knew what to expect. If I didn’t know, a quick phone call made me feel very comfortable. AirMart made sure I knew what I was getting and helped me feel very good about my decision. Well done team AirMart!”

"AirMart handled the sale of my DA40 quickly and professionally. I was very pleased and would highly recommend doing business with AirMart."

"I bought a Cherokee Six through AirMart, and I was incredibly impressed with every aspect of the experience. First, during my initial evaluations of the airplanes, to be able to view every page of the aircraft logs, engine logs, and propeller logs right from the website, was INCREDIBLY helpful and informative. Then, to have links to YouTube videos of the exterior and interior of the airplane, was amazing (you feel like you're walking around and in the airplane - seeing everything the photos may not show, and it makes you feel more confident that a photo didn't "miss" an imperfection.) It's just a very "clean" website, giving you of the pertinent information, in an incredibly user friendly and informative way. Once I contacted AirMart, Rodney was incredibly helpful. He gave me his honest insights, and, made himself very accessible (even after hours) to help however he could. During the purchasing process, Rodney was an effective mediator between me and the seller (this was an airplane they were brokering), and helped us work through any issues that hindered the process. Rodney was incredibly diligent in researching the airplane I had decided to purchase (an airplane that wasn't originally his listing), and found issues in the logbooks that I had completely missed! He brought it to my attention, even knowing that it could jeopardize the sale. This level of integrity is very rare (and, it helped assure me that they weren't trying to hide anything, just for a quick sale.) My understanding from other pilots who have worked with AirMart is that Grant, the owner, will never sell an airplane (at ANY cost) that isn't in excellent condition (he will refuse airplanes, or fix important issues, before selling them.) Of course, there is no "perfect" airplane, and little squawks can be missed, but, it's nice knowing that they have a high level of both quality control and integrity. Once the purchase decision was finalized, Shelby handled all of the paperwork, and walked me through the process step-by-step. Like Rodney, Shelby, made herself very accessible (even after hours), to help make this a smooth process. She didn't make me "guess" about anything - always going above and beyond to get me the information I needed, and answering all of my questions in a very patient and confident way. I would, with certainty and without any hesitation, buy from AirMart, again. Thank you, Rodney & Shelby, for your diligence, helpfulness, and integrity. And, thank you, Grant, for having a company with a reputation built on these principles!"

AirMart beats all expectations, they came down and looked at my plane, listed it and sold it within a month. They are very organized with all of the closing docs and escrow agents. I recommend AirMart and their salesman Paul.

"You guys did a great job selling my 2006 Cirrus SR-22! I was very attached to the airplane. I purchased it new from the factory. I have 9 years of amazing memories flying this airplane all over the USA. The pros at AirMart love aviation and understand the emotional attachment its buyers and sellers have to their airplanes. It is a love affair that most of us began in childhood. When our newborn gets a little older we will call on AirMart to find the perfect Cirrus again!"

"I just want to congratulate you on a job well done. I absolutely love the C182S that I purchased. I had been searching for just the right C182 for over a year, however, I had just not been satisfied with what I had seen. Then I came across your company. I spoke with Grant, and he immediately went to work to find the perfect C182 for me. Grant took the time to talk with me about what I wanted and needed in an airplane. He really helped me to narrow my search to the C182S series. He then kept in contact with me regarding what he had and what airplanes might be coming into his inventory. He worked very hard to keep me informed, and he always seemed happy to answer my many questions. I always felt that he had my best interests at heart. The airplane that he found for me flies like a dream and continues to be a delight to own. I am very happy that I bought it! Thank you, again, for doing such a great job. I enthusiastically recommend AirMart to everyone I know who is buying or selling an airplane."

Working with AirMart and Paul in selling my 206 was a good experience. The pictures and description on your website were way beyond anything I had expected. The paperwork for the actual sale was handled much more efficiently than I had expected. Doing everything online was wonderful. Communication throughout the process was excellent. I would highly recommend AirMart to anyone considering buying or selling an airplane.

"AirMart was very helpful in the purchase process of my Beech V35B. A real asset was the assistance Tom Ferguson who contributed to the prebuy inspection. If you are in the market to buy or sell a plane, do consider contacting Grant Sutherlin at AirMart for first class service."

"Thank you for all your hard work in selling my plane through AirMart. The process was simple and painless. Grant was great to act as the intermediary to resolve any questions or issues from the buyer. I will definitely use AirMart again when buying or selling a plane."

Thank you for the wonderful experience I had selling my plane. Everything went very smoothly, and quickly. I sold my plane in a little over a week which was a lot less time than I expected.

AirMart did a good job in advertising and getting the word out about the sale of my aircraft. All in all the sale went smoothly.

Dear Air Mart, I finally took delivery of my Saratoga yesterday, 96 days after the first email to Adam asking if the plane was still available. You might think that it was a disappointing delay, but it is not at all. Every step of the way, I knew that all of the hands that touched this deal had my best interests in mind. It simply took that long to make it all perfect. I emailed Adam for the first time on December 1st, and by the 7th it was clear that AirMart had a tough combination: a less-than-helpful seller and a first-time buyer. Adam was patient and helpful with all my questions, and helped navigate the line between my inspection demands and the seller's reluctance to move the plane. When it was time to press some issues, he moved the process up a level to Grant, who helped get the seller to understand my position. Because of that, I felt confident that AirMart as a whole was working to facilitate the deal. At the pre-buy inspection, I actually rejected the plane. There was some corrosion that was repairable, but was beyond what I was ready to take on as a first-time buyer. Adam seemed disappointed, but I felt like it was for me, not because there would be no deal or commission. AirMart and Annie closed down the transaction smoothly and without a hint of pressure to stay in it. As much as anything, I was really pleased that all Adam had to say about it was that he was sorry, that there was a plane out there for me, and AirMart would keep looking. He did casually mention there were two 6X's available... I licked my pre-buy wounds and headed home on the 18th. I didn't know it, but Adam was still working on making things happen. After a few phone calls, I found out on the 24th that AirMart had worked it out. The seller would make the repairs to the plane, and the deal was on! We closed on the 26th and the plane was mine. It spent a couple of months in the care of Charles McGaughy at Mack Air in Shelbyville, TN--a shop I chose but who Adam knew and supported as a skilled and careful A&P. Charles repaired the belly corrosion along with all the other bits to make the plane perfect, and he delivered it to me here in Jacksonville on a bluebird day that was perfect for the first flight around town.
