Repo?

Yeah, A friend of mine does it, and I used to work with him. But he doesn't have a pilots licence. So he call me for help.

Could you elaborate? :)

Very fun :)

Only thing I've ever helped steal is a street sign

lol don't do that it's not worth the trouble! It's was my first time repo'ing an aircraft. First time fling a low wing as well.
And yes it was a fun rush!

Oh and the plane was a 1990 cirrus sr20 cost around 300k

Sorry 607 It was a repossession ordered by a bank. I used to do that kind of work, but stop when my son was born. And started a Hot Rod Shop much safer line of work!

Huh, interesting! I'd never heard of that. Unless I misunderstood how exciting this is and you actually just rang the doorbell and requested the keys. :P

Not exactly lol. The hard part is locating the asset. People with a repo orders will try to hide it. I did not have to do that part, they found it. All I had to do was go to a small airport where is was located. Pull it out of the hanger and check it over and make sure it's air worthy. Pick the ignition and take off to another small airport where they had a hanger rented. Job done.

It's really feels like your stealing it. In Alabama it a No Confrontation State. So there is no asking permission you, just take it.

That's interesting indeed! I didn't know you could fly a plane, either.

Yeah I got my licence in 1998. Got the Kitfox in 2013 which is classified as a experimental aircraft. Which means not built by a manufacture. I don't fly it much anymore, would need to go though it, before taking it up. The plane I took friday was cost around 300k and mine cost me 17k lol

That's cool!
