Warbird Information Exchange

I have an interesting package of tandem seat advanced jet trainers coming up and was wondering who are the big players in the US in jet warbirds that buy wholesale packages ? (in this case about 20 aircraft plus spares)

I don't think there's much demand for jet trainers, as the market is saturated with L-29's, L-39's, BAC Strikemasters, and others. Plus the recession, the GPH fuel consumption, and the availability of T-28's and high performance piston trainers make the demand for jets very low.

Thanks A2C , yes , realise the markets tough at the moment. 4th quarter last year our sales to the USA (my biggest market) dropped 90% !

We sell wholesale spares packages, engines and components but the speculative buying left the market and buyers just bought stock that they have already presold.

Having said that quality NOS Bell helicopter spares still seem to move ok if priced 'right' , seems that market is recession proof.

On aircraft sales 4 'done deals' fell over due to the normally creditworthy overseas based buyers being unable to get additional financing.

Thankfully I was able to find some new market niches in other countries but it's still very quiet.

Seems like that should do well, since you've got surplus equipment that normally would cost big $.
