I wouldn't. You take a bath on the sale in this market and then turn around
and wind up paying a few thousand dollars to your mechanic for the infamous
first annual inspection on the new plane. Ross has a nice aircraft set up
pretty much the way he wants it. If he changes the engine out, he gets what
he wants and knows what he has. There's no guarantee that he'll get what he
wants, and he certainly won't know what he has if he buys another aircraft.

good fortune to run into the ones I like, and the eyesight to tell the
difference.
