Default RE: Buyer be AWARE of Chief Aircraft

DavidM,
I was a purchasing agent for 20 years at Aviall here in Dallas, Texas. I bought everything from carpet to PT6 and JT15 parts. You name it if it broke we fixed it and I bought it.

That did strike me funny as to why an FBO would sell RC stuff. I know Aviall was owned by Ryder at one time and they talked about selling truck parts next to AC parts.......needless to say the Feds really frowned on that one.

Chief must really be a little podunky FBO or corporate aviation is really hurting more than I thought. When I talked to Larry I got the impression that RC was just a little side line, maybe the bosses kid flys or somebody who has the money and authority flys or is involved some way with the sport.

Oh well as long as they can produce who cares.
