If you see native with bone stuck through his nostrils looking at you closely, he is probably coming up with a receipe how to cook you for a dinner!
Zika virus, polio outbreak, tribal fighting, high level of serious and violent crime. A virtual paradise.
Pfft, that's Miami on a Tuesday night. You should see it on a Saturday night, shit gets really real then.
Actually, Yes it is!! The last 3-5 years I've been buying the strangest aircraft and heli stuff from around the globe from the strangest of people. We bought one Heli several years ago from Nigeria and now every Priest, General, Sheik and whatever they want to call themselves from third world countries have been calling us to sell off whatever flying crap they have possession of. The last year has been balls out weird...
I will seriously travel anywhere and pretty much already have..... let me know if you need anyone for future endeavours
I honestly don't know what's legal and what isn't, and if it even matters, esp. if you have means to persuade the local officers. We did some analysis about things that will shape the country and the two most impactful and most uncertain things were from memory political / government policy and cultural development. There's a coup or mutiny every few years, so don't feel bad, they don't trust themselves.
I’m an A&P/IA with time, and I’ve bought/sold/cut up/crated plenty of airplanes. I probably can’t afford to go for free, but if it’s a paying gig maybe. When?
That's crazy. When something like this goes up for auction how do you know that there's value in it? You mentioned the engines and gear as you're main focus. Does someone from the auction house go out and inspect the plane? Are you expecting the engines to be in working order or are you going to part them out? This fascinates me, especially with the plane being one that's burned.
