Australian Air Ferry are a reputable and honest company to work with and will deliver you aircraft expeditiously with the minimum of fuss.

Another one is Bill Cox who is a highly experienced US ferry pilot on all types and thoroughly professional. <[email protected]>

I believe Clamback and Hennessy have ditched 3 aircraft which is about a 1 in 100 chance (approx) of a hull loss in ferry configuration. In each case I understand they attributed fault to the aircaft/engine/fuel system. You might say they are simply unlucky.

Whoever you use you should agree in writing about the conduct of the ferry flight re: MTOW, W+B, compliance with ferry permits, engine management, carriage of passengers/teaching students etc.

Be very specific about removal of equipment. Seats and carpets are a no-brainer, but if they remove a built in item such as an oxygen tank you might be saddled with the expense of pressure testing, re-installing and re-charging.

pm me if you want more detailed information.
