Auctioneer Posted August 6, 2017 Report Posted August 6, 2017 Alan Fox, the , strikes again. This time, the kiss of death has his sickle (gas saw) pointed at a 1983 M20J with 300 hours TT on it. No, it's not MY plane but has an eerily similar paint job. Who wants part or whole of an '83 J? How much?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
carusoam Posted August 6, 2017 Report Posted August 6, 2017 I recognize the engineer/MSer/NJMPer in that photo... Best regards, -a-

Slick enough. Allows you to move the plane around on the ramp and into a hangar if necessary. 1

I thought a Necrophile was someone who loves the dead- as in really "loves" the dead. Ewww. I thought a necromancer was someone who revives the dead. Talk about thread creep- this has turned into Thread Creep of the Living Dead... 1
