Big Bucks
SSD -
Respect!
How many hangar queens do we know of - sh@gged out, often- interesting aircraft operated on a shoestring and grounded when the inevitable words 'take out your wallet and repeat after me - help yourself' - are uttered by the guy whose b@lls are on the block if he signs it out 'still limping'.
It seems that a large proportion of syndicate members either have no idea or have been 'sold a pup' by a member clearly in the know about the actual state of it.
It is really sad to see enthusiasm turn to despair when 'the biggie' - which often ain't that much of a biggie to those of us in the know - causes heads to shake and the members scatter to the four corners.
Lets face it - the first thing a new syndicate is going to do is all fly the @rse off the thing - lots of heavy duty check rides - probably more hours in a week than it did in the preceding year... Old machinery will protest. Don't I know it. I wear the Tee shirt.
