On the other hand, why would you need to? The plane's logbooks tell the real
story. You have tach hours at annuals, oil changes, and other maintenance. I
think that provides a better and more accurate view into the flying history
of the plane.

Well, yes and no. Some logs are better than others.

For example, I am a perfectionist about my logs. Everything gets
logged, no mattter how seemingly insignificant.

Atlas' previous owner, however, didn't bother to log oil changes. He
logged major work, but just didn't bother to fill in the oil changes.
Why? Lazy, I suppose -- but I *know* he did them.

Personally, I'd have no trouble at all showing a prospective buyer my
personal logs, if requested. What harm can come of it?
