I'll do it for free just expenses to get to the plane and along the way ofcourse. Have 200+ in 7 series and coast to coast ferry experience in a-1 husky.

This is why you guys who fly for a living can't get decent pay.

I'll do it for $10,000.00 plus 6 months health insurance, 6 months into my retirement account, lodging in 5 star motels, all the food and alcohol I want. I think that about covers it.

If I'm not a ferry (aka gay) can I still have the job?

Just kidding all in fun, don't get your panties in a wad.

Maybe I just enjoy flying enough I dont feel it necessary to rape peoples bank accounts to do it...

Rob, you'd have a seizure in response to 65hp.

Not cool. But it does tell how much you're worth.

Maybe like me Heims is more interested in the adventure than getting paid.

I'd do it for free too if I had more than 3 hrs in 7 series.

The day the professional ferry pilots start competing for work with the $20K miniature taildragger ferry guys, we'll know the graphs have crossed and the state of aviation employment opportunity has reached a new low.

So do you have a pilot?

From where and to where is it to be ferried? I donate hundreds of hours of flight time. Retired. Don't need the money. Enjoy adventure. Got 1,800 hrs. in Champs and Citabrias....from 100hp. to 180 hp. 4,000+ tailwheel. Maules, Pitts, Skybolt, C-170-140-120...Twin Beech. Don't know if that meets insurance requirements.

PM me if interested.

Hello Backcountry Pilots,
I agree with Rob, but I want twice as mush $$$, and Shinia Twain as my co-pilot . A pilot wouldn't ask a farmer if he could drive his 1958 John Deer combine for a week for free, so why would you fly for free? If your are interested in flying long hours, for low pay in ice, the night freight haulers are a good place to start.

Really Paul,
Good luck finding a dependable pilot. There are some good, and a few really disreputable ferry pilots out there.

This is turning out to be a good read........ if he would wait till after hunting season and things cooled down out mid west I'd go myself..but he wants his "baby taildragger" right now ! He looks at it tomorrow, then it's up to him what happens next.
Rob I'll pass your offer on to him, sounds like a good deal to me. Those of you who want to do it I will confirm sale tomorrow and pass leads to him or if he want me to do so I will contact you. ??

Hey, don't badmouth old farts willing to do it for the fun of it. I have plenty of 7ac time and expenses would be fine......and sometimes NOT being in a hurry and pushing the situation is the better tactic, and when I retire (and I assume the other old guys) time ain't gona matter!
I assumed the 5 year delay might be a deal breaker, though.....

Methinks there are some ferry PLANEs that aren't to wonderful, too (just to defend us here pilots )

If you could wait until next spring, I will have a lot of spare time.....and I have about 500 hrs in a 7 series champ..don't know if I could handle that kind of power though! Have done some ferrying of new & used planes accross the country. HC

I would do it for nothing also, just for the fun of it. I like flying our champ, and a lazy trip across the country would be a blast.
