201er Posted April 1, 2022 Report Posted April 1, 2022 You guys know Alan Fox right? Grim Reaper? Well he got hold of this 1975 M20F. Heard something about the owner losing his marbles so his wife's making him hang it up or something. Anyway, the Lycoming I0-360-A1A has low compression on one jug but with around 600 hours on the engine is totally fine. Well you guessed it, the Reaper is just after the goodies and would rather part the whole thing out than replace one cylinder and get it back in the air. Alan told me this morning that unless someone offers him at least $25,000, he'll make more money selling the engine core and radios. This M20F is in pretty good shape, not too beat up. Has new interior, completely redone panel a couple years ago, original paint, low time engine. Dual Aspen's, GTN650, JPI930, ADSB, it's got the works. And you know Alan can't wait to get his hands on Chris's goodies. So if anyone's looking for a nice F and is willing to offer over $25k, leave a comment below and we'll see if we can save this plane from the hands of the Grim Reaper! 6 1
201er Posted April 1, 2022 Author Report Posted April 1, 2022 Alan's not messing around. He'll have the wings and tail off by dinner time if he doesn't catch a whiff of the scent of money. 2

I was wondering who the first one would be to post something like this today... :-) 2
A64Pilot Posted April 1, 2022 Report Posted April 1, 2022 A few years ago it would have been believable, but with today’s prices?
takair Posted April 1, 2022 Report Posted April 1, 2022 I fell for it. Was scrambling to move money and call Allen…. 2
Kmac Posted April 1, 2022 Report Posted April 1, 2022 (edited) I fell for it too. Good one. I wonder how many have already contacted Alan. Edited April 1, 2022 by Kmac 1
StevenL757 Posted April 1, 2022 Report Posted April 1, 2022 I'm sure Alan will be along later to answer that question...
Rwsavory Posted April 1, 2022 Report Posted April 1, 2022 You think Alan could saw off the wing-tips so I can make some coffee tables out of them?
Will.iam Posted April 1, 2022 Report Posted April 1, 2022 That’s funny right there. Neighbor’s daughter posted on facebook her mom was moving into an elderly assisted living community and was selling everything to make the move. Her mom’s phone was blowing up today with people asking to buy her car, house, tv’s, refrigerator, washer dryer. It was crazy! Mom was pissed and i hate to think what she is planning to get back at her daughter with. Maybe cut her out of the will?

Marauder Posted April 1, 2022 Report Posted April 1, 2022 I thought for sure you made a typo and meant M20J and that the Reaper got your plane Stinky. Heavens know how close it was when your plane looked like this: It won't be the first time the Reaper went after my plane. He tried in 2017 when it was in for an avionics upgrade. Fortunately, they caught him just in time: 1 2 1

Danb Posted April 2, 2022 Report Posted April 2, 2022 Love to except I’ve been Bidenized Another weekend in Persidential TFRhell. Getting real old dealing with it basically every other weekend
Danb Posted April 2, 2022 Report Posted April 2, 2022 I don’t know if Chris can get out either without a hassle
Marauder Posted April 2, 2022 Report Posted April 2, 2022 I don’t know if Chris can get out either without a hassle Our airport manager cut a deal with Chester County. We can leave our planes there if we need to get out on a weekend. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro 1

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro I’ve done the TSA thing in Wilmington, when they were rummaging through Frans underwear she got pissed so it was the last time out of KILG, it took 45 minutes at Wilmingtons I’ve used Summit and entered via Allentown which there TSA was fast efficient and professional. WILMINGTON should get training at Allentowns TSA, took five minutes at Allentown
