However, about 30 minutes later walked back out with a previous logbook and told the prospective buyer it's junk and told the broker he could call the FSDO or I would. Long story short, he called and got the data tag pulled. Don't recall what happened to the owner. The logbook I found had my name it a number of times and was a M/R strike that ripped the roof off and was sold as salvage by the insurance company. Needless to say I wasn't too pleased of my name getting involved. Unfortunately as some here have mentioned, it's not always this convenient to find one.
Nothing seems to change. Friend of mine gets a phone call. Hi X when did you actually leave company Y.
End of June,why? Well you signed for a compass swing in August according to the log book I'm looking at.
