No Damage History?

It also may be irrelavant. Take a Cub for example. My mechanic
specializes in taking wrecked or otherwise unairworthy Cubs and turning
them into pieces of flying art. He gets top dollar. Same goes for the
desirable planes like Cessna 180/182/185/206. Guys that read only
newsgroups care about a replaced firewall. My firewall has been
replaced twice. There's no discount for that. My plane had some
stringers replaced in the main gear area, we think due to a hard
landing. Again there's no discount for that. But on a Cherokee or a
Musketeer there would be.

my plane has "damage history"?

Jay, you know the answer to that question. Namely, it depends upon

whether

I am selling, or buying! {:)


Ah, good point. ;-)

It didn't deter me, though. And as the fleet gets older and older, the
odds of finding a true "NDH" aircraft become less and less.
