You don't have to answer, but what kind of money do you get paid for something like that, if you don't mind?

A subway sandwitch, half a coke, A cab ride & $211.00 and that was with a $200.00 Tip

 

[NW_Pilot]

Not those old ones. Eng. driven HYD pump if I recall.

Yes, Eng. driven HYD pump

you're right, i don't know what this guy is talking about.

I know what I am talking about! It is a hydraulic flap system!

I have to admit, I might have done something like that when I was 19.


Today, I wouldn't fly a piece of junk like that around the patch. That airplane sounds like it needs a quality annual inspection, probably $10K or more in repairs, or it's gonna hurt someone...

Yes, I just hope he don't hop in it and try & fly it with out receiving instruction in it, and hope he has a decent wrench give it a good inspection before flying it. but he has to reg it in canada and I think they require an inspection.

ahhh,reminds me of when i used to Repo. airplanes for a finance company. You always have spectacular maint. on a plane that someone defaults on a loan

I think that would be fun any pointers on getting in to the aircraft repo market?

I just kinda fell into it from a friend of mine, most of the time it was 172s from some of the flight schools that folded after 9/11

The first 210's (razorbacks) had hydraulic driven flaps, the powerpack was similar to a PA-23 system. It may have been built by Ozone, who also built the powerpacks for Navajo's, Aztecs, and Skymasters.

No, line guy was looking for the propper cables nothing had been plugged in to the aircraft. All the shielding melted & shorted out the system.

Since everyone else is all "Ha Ha, that's funny!" and "I thought the flaps were electric..." I'll say it: You exercised very poor judgement flying that piece of S H I T across the country. You could've been injured, killed, killed someone on the ground, or worst of all, had your license yanked if you got ramp checked. You should grow up a little bit. A few hours of flying time isn't worth risking your life or your ticket.

210 bucks for 11 days work?

Talk about whoring yourself out.

Yea, & I missed a $1,500 4 to 5 day flight because of that airplane! I should have walked when it had the electrical fire!

NW Pilot,
a word of advice, I hop your flying skills are better than your writing skills. Know the difference between "hear" and "here". When sentences finish use full stop and capital letter after that.. It was extremely hard to read and follow..
Before you call me a spelling police or something similar to that, these skills will help you to present yourself better to employers and students..

Cheers..

That's funny -- perhaps you should follow your own advice.

I thought it was a good story
