  This dude seems like the type to run off to the bathroom every 20 mins then comes back and tells you a really intense story every time👀❄❄❄

  As a licensed aircraft mechanic myself, this is a deal that is so good it’d be so stupid not to make a deal. &nbsp;Certificated parts in aviation is big money, especially parts not made anymore. &nbsp;Even if the parts need some work to make them certified, that alone is big money. &nbsp;<br><br>Great find!

  As a former Marine Corps helo mechanic, and a current GA aircraft mechanic, this is a GREAT deal!! &nbsp;That much stuff could keep a good crew of A&amp;P&apos;s busy for years building working helos and selling parts. I would LOVE to be part of that, if I was closer!

  I’m a helicopter mech, A&amp;P. Live in Phoenix and have worked for guys with a warehouse just like this full of parts. I know how to identify and sell them, making it as lucrative as possible. <br>If you’re taking resumes lol<br>Also retired military, Osprey mechanic

  250k sounds like an insanely good deal. &nbsp;A suspiciously good deal. There must be more to the story. Will be patiently waiting for the next episodes to find out more.

  This deal has massive potential, hopefully this means a lot more helicopter content coming our way soon!

  For all those out there in the world watching this video the one part that was skipped over and not shown was the paperwork. &nbsp;Dave covered this very well on the Blackhawk video but for reasons I don&apos;t understand not even mentioning it on this video. &nbsp;<br><br>The entire warehouse could be worthless (or only good for salvage) IF there is not supporting documentation for EVERYTHING. &nbsp;Each and every component and part in that warehouse needs a parts certificate BEFORE it can be used on an airworthy aircraft. &nbsp;The fact that many of the parts and airframes came from south of the border is EXTREMELY risky as they may not fall under FAA maintenance requirements. &nbsp;I&apos;m not saying that these parts can&apos;t be made airworthy but what I&apos;m saying is that without documentation the part or airframe has to undergo extensive testing and certification. &nbsp;Which is UNHOLY expensive. &nbsp;So that 100,000 part just became a 500,000 part. &nbsp;It gets even more expensive with Helicopters due to the high tolerances and loads these components undergo. &nbsp;<br><br>Last but not least a big part of the story is that most of this warehouse came from south of the border. &nbsp; I WOULD STRONGLY advise reaching out to DHS/HSI to see if everything was imported legally and has all of the documentation to show taxes and other fees were paid at the Port of Entry. &nbsp;<br><br>If its too good to be true it is. &nbsp;<br><br>Wish I lived in Utah and could volunteer to help on this as an A&amp;P. &nbsp; But as an A&amp;P &nbsp;DO NOT ACCEPT ANYTHING you aren&apos;t prepared to certify as airworthy or does not have parts certificate or documentation. &nbsp; EVEN then for critical parts I would absolutely require NDT inspection before returning to flight.

  This could be an absolutely EPIC deal for Dave and help the old owner get out of a pretty sticky situation. &nbsp;Hope the landlords will work with you for 6 months so you have time to sell everything and get the one helicopter put together to use or sell.

  26 years I&apos;ve worked in aviation maintenance.. I hope he&apos;s got all the paperwork for the airframes and all the parts.... You got a massive job ahead reassembling those aircraft. Taking unknown parts and frames is going to take a lot of assembly, even more testing and loads of test flights. Good luck.
