Safe travels Chuck. Sometimes the best trips begin with no plan.

I figured I would give it time to settle, I have a lot of maintenance to do when I get home. Tires and bearings, many replacement parts as they come in blah blah blah……

Unfortunately, the government doesn’t seem too concerned with selling them and seems content to let them rot in place. What a waste of potential income.
That Hawker should be worth a bit if it's in good condition. Plane like that, places that could do the maintenance would be limited, I'd think a little digging could find out who's been taking care of it, might have some paperwork. Not a cheap plane to lose, but some of these drug people probably don't feel it as much as most of us would feel it losing our oldest car.

Considering most are stolen, they don’t care. The insurance companies should be interested in getting them back though. The problem is that most of the time every traceable serial number on the aircraft has been removed.
