The fastest airplane I've ever sold was when I got contacted from a person in the South Pacific. You're fucking kidding me. Yeah, I can take the helicopter. Here in London, we actually showed the airplane. We put the airplane in for a very quick engine borescope, which is an X-ray of inside the engine. We knew the airplane was coming up for a big inspection pretty soon. We documented a letter of intent, the purchase agreement, signed it, got paid everything in 6 days. Most aircraft sales take between 2 and 5 months. That was absolutely record time for a pre-owned aircraft sale.
