A friend of mine once told me that the people in aviation were the
nicest people in the world.
Until they had an airplane for sale.

As a lawyer who's been at it for over 35 years, and as an aviator
who's been at that for over 40 years, the number of squirrels,
cheats, downright liars, and other questionable folks in the
aviation industry has always amazed me.
Used car dealers and lawyers are nothing compared to some of our
fellow aviators.

I know that the seasoned “old hands” will find this somewhat
obvious, but I would like to pass on to the less sophisticated
members of the list (like me) a cautionary note. Be sure and order
the aircraft records from the FAA for any aircraft that you are
thinking of buying. I’ve searching for an LSA ‘coupe for some
months and recently found what looked like a nice one. The owner
assured me that it was a C model and even had a bill of sale that
showed it as a C. However, when I got the 337s from the FAA, it
showed that it had been converted to a D 5 years ago. When I
notified the owner, he was very upset. He indicated that he had
been “lied to” by the person who sold him the airplane. In the
course of our conversation, he explained that what he meant was
that the seller had indicated that he had made the conversion but
had not and would not file the 337! The FAA records turned out to
be the best $10 I have spent lately. Be careful when you buy!
