What are they going to do, land in the parking lot, taxi up to the doors and ask "How much will you give for this?"

I can't see Chumlee fitting into the airplane unless they put him in through the open bomb bay and for weight & balance, he'd have to stay there

And then Corey says:

"I know, my man, but with all the new-builds out there these days I have to make sure it's authentic before I can even consider making an offer. Do you mind if I call a friend of mine down here to look at it? He hangs out on all the aviation forums and knows everything there is to know about this stuff..."

:axe: :lol:

The Pawn Stars Producers must have given the Alum.OC people a nice donation, :wink: I did'nt see any other people standing near her! And then they show only the "Old Man" and Chum. in for the flight. :shock: Must be nice to be given a "Special" ride,(I'm just jealous) Now I Have to check it out! I do have some letters from the desk of "Jackie K." before that fatal day, I wonder how much...
