This is awesome
Amazing sir
Nice
Osm
Whoops 🤭
Good
As a former Marine Corps helo mechanic, and a current GA aircraft mechanic, this is a GREAT deal!! That much stuff could keep a good crew of A&P's busy for years building working helos and selling parts. I would LOVE to be part of that, if I was closer!
The worst part is paperwork and airworthiness certs etc. This dude doesn't look like he was great on the paperwork side of things.
To be quite honest, they're gonna end up weighing in most of this stuff for scrap, or upcycling it as fancy industrial arty installations...... which will make a ton of money cos there's plenty of exotic alloys involved.
Nobody wants a bunch of sketchy old Super Pumas with their track record of Gearbox failures and crashes...... Sparks just saw an opportunity to get a running and flying Dauphin out of the deal.
Chris, start packing your bags. There is work to be done.
@@nickmaclachlan5178 I'd take a sketchy puma over what I currently have any day!!
@@nickmaclachlan5178 yeah you can keep the super pumas with their safety record
Buy the stuff!
I’m a helicopter mech, A&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.
If you’re taking resumes lol
Also retired military, Osprey mechanic
H-60 pilot here. Hope you get it brother!
@gd8205Thank You for your Service fellow Veteran. I'm an Air Force Veteran and a VA Retiree
Hire this guy Sparks! Pay it forward
Thank you for saving my dog last week bro 😎 your my favorite Harvard graduate 🫡
Holy crap, you worked on the Osprey?? I saw a couple of them flying (first time ever seen IRL) in AK a couple of years ago - coolest thing ever! Do they deserve their bad rap, or is that all noise? Did you ever fly one?? So cool! 🫡🪖🇺🇸❤️
26 years I've worked in aviation maintenance.. I hope he'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.
Hope he takes advice.
42 years in fixed wing aviation…. This ain’t tractors, this is a whole “nuther” level of “the redass “. Good luck.
@@hawkeye681
He did that ' black monster ' already! 👍
The parts certification is nuts here
From used cars to used helicopters that’s quite a step up Mr. Sparks. Well done 🤙🏻
Step up? This is a step towards insanity lol. The amount of inventorying alone in this project is thousands of man hours. Some things sound like a good deal especially if it pennies on the dollar but once the scope of this is realized I think second thoughts will be had.
@@NovemberFoxtrotRC his life choices
used market of helicopter parts
@@NovemberFoxtrotRC 200k for this, it's given...You can pay a guy for one year to list all, and still get *10...
@@NovemberFoxtrotRCf anyone has the will power and man hours to do it, its dave
As a licensed aircraft mechanic myself, this is a deal that is so good it’d be so stupid not to make a deal. Certificated parts in aviation is big money, especially parts not made anymore. Even if the parts need some work to make them certified, that alone is big money.
Great find!
I feel like this is all worth 10x at least.
Exactly
@@debbydeloach I couldn't do it I'm a certified automotive technician and that stresses me out enough with having peoples lives essentially in my hands 1 slip up could cost someone their life so you need to make sure you are always very thorough and cautious...aviation mechanics that's a whole different game mad respect!
I don't know a damn thing about helicopters, but I know about mechanical parts....You don't even have to inventory this to know that 300K is a smoking deal he should have secured without haggling over. My guess, this is probably the largest non-governmental/non-military indoor inventory in the western hemisphere for this type of airframe.
Why? Cuz it all takes time he doesn't have
For all those out there in the world watching this video the one part that was skipped over and not shown was the paperwork. Dave covered this very well on the Blackhawk video but for reasons I don't understand not even mentioning it on this video.
The entire warehouse could be worthless (or only good for salvage) IF there is not supporting documentation for EVERYTHING. Each and every component and part in that warehouse needs a parts certificate BEFORE it can be used on an airworthy aircraft. 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. I'm not saying that these parts can't be made airworthy but what I'm saying is that without documentation the part or airframe has to undergo extensive testing and certification. Which is UNHOLY expensive. So that 100,000 part just became a 500,000 part. It gets even more expensive with Helicopters due to the high tolerances and loads these components undergo.
Last but not least a big part of the story is that most of this warehouse came from south of the border. 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.
If its too good to be true it is.
Wish I lived in Utah and could volunteer to help on this as an A&P. But as an A&P DO NOT ACCEPT ANYTHING you aren't prepared to certify as airworthy or does not have parts certificate or documentation. EVEN then for critical parts I would absolutely require NDT inspection before returning to flight.

The explanation I’ve waited a year for. Thank you
if, you can find certified inspectors. you may be able to actually resell some items.
when they say they are looking for a buyer with a lot of aviation experience ... what they mean is they need to finde someone with no aviation experience who's naive enough to make the deal. if he's sitting on so many engines worth that much money, why isnt he selling them 🤓
Anytime I've dealt with someone like this I had to steer well clear of doing business with them. I hope this turns out great man and not just buying someones pit.
and.... thats how this deal turned out too!
@@bluecollardadventures2338 yep, you called it. This dude was just a con with a bad habit. There was no way to complete a deal with him. He just wanted to scam somebody and not let go of anything.
It kind of looked like the guy that called Dave about this find was in on the scam.
@@heynow01 Yeah I thought that too, maybe the guy was gonna get a cut of the lease or the sale. Didn't seem like he was maliciously doing it to me. I also think Dave said he knew the guy from the past, maybe I am wrong there.
@@riddlermangaming3533 Well, if he knew the seller for even a few minutes, he should have noticed the tweeker personality and at least warned Dave not to leave a deposit and be extremely cautious.
I would never tell even an enemy to blindly go try and make a very expensive purchase from a guy that was exhibiting all the red flags of a scammer and a drug user.
This could be an absolutely EPIC deal for Dave and help the old owner get out of a pretty sticky situation. 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.
I would like one and i will fly
He also has a tie-fighter in the thumbnail. If he can get that flying again, it should go for quite a bit.
@@daynegomez8334 if he sells 1 complete helicopter he will make a profit lol
@@daynegomez8334 Those parts are needed by people, they will sell, its just gonna take time. If he buys for $300k he is golden, even if he is massively underselling the parts.
The owner will deal to help Dave get it done. Dave will offer the right amount that will give him time to liquidate without moving and make the owner MORE than HAPPY to WAIT. Count on it.
Having worked in aviation, on helicopters for over twenty years, you made a great deal. The work is in getting a good inventory, getting the paperwork on the airframes, and the documents on the new parts. It's like selling a purebred animal, if you have the papers you get top dollar. Work with the landlord, take your time, accept assistance from others in aviation maintenance business and collect the checks.
I’m also an A&P and Gary is spot on. Especially bringing Joe in to review. I also managed a class 4 aluminum part 145 repair station and can tell you right now the value for aviation components is not always easy to price. Parts networks are global, paperwork (8130 certificates) is critical, and the “budget” buyer for “serviceable” parts is actually a very small pool. Also log books for X registered aircraft (Mexico) were very hard to bring up to airworthiness standards. One thing I learned was that technical Spanish was harder to find a interpreter than expected. Just to review what was accomplished previously.
@@thewhitestjamal I would run from that. All I see is stress spelled with a XA.
Best comment so far. I hope they get the guy to help with the paperwork.
Have you been working in the tool room for the past 20 years? That’s a horrible deal. There’s no inventory or paperwork certifying the parts and their condition. By the way what the hell is a P4 inspection?
Yeah, I would have done it too Dave, it all looks great so far... having watched Part II already, the transformation of the seller's demeanor is striking indeed.
It took me over two and one-half months to sell a single helicopter. So many problems just connecting with potential buyers, finding prop blades that were all part of a single set, etc. more problems than they were worth. Good luck to you!
Prop blades on a helicopter…✔️🤡
Tell me you're full of it without telling me. Oh yeah, RC helicopter.
@@tihspidtherekciltilc5469 yes
Couldn't imagine making deals like heavy D and the stress of trying to make a profit from it its definitely appreciated for taking us along that's super awesome
i cant even start to calculate that kind of green let alone dreaming of making or spending that much
@@peacemaker-du4hz Yes indeed, and Dave Sparks started with $0.00 dollars.
Smart man.
I'm along for this UA-cam ride😎
@@markmitchell457 same,ive been watching his YT channel for a while now and i dont ever intend to stop until he decides to stop making vids
I thought buying a blackhawk was insane, now he has a blackhawk and this thing. He must have Bill Gates budget. How is he making money off these? surely youtube money doesn't pay enough. The only way I can see it work is to run a charter business and even then i think it would be pretty tough.
@@markmitchell457 this deal might put him back to $0.00 dollars all this stuff hasn't sold in the last 6 or 7 years the guy has sold everything he can know it's costing him more in storage than he selling or he would just hire someone to take over if he was still makeing money of it. This is all just left overs from everything this guy could sell unless heavy D knows more people in thart business then this guy this stuff will sit for years. I bet this guy has had people he knows come in and buy stuff cheap befor he let go of everything the guys a business man. heavy d is just buying his head ake. Yes it's a good deal if you can sell it all but no 1 has wanted it for past 6 or 7 years and at the end he was probably selling stuff cheap
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👀❄❄❄
Your damn right
Yep dude is suspect
That’s so funny !
How u know?👀👀😭😭😭
I swear half his videos are him buying the most expensive things in the world. How does he even get all that money?
I've never been shut down blank on any youtube video full of hardcore aviation passion like this video.. boy.. imagine working with this guy .. i like when your knowledge is in a whole different zone..wow
New to the channel and I’m hooked to see how this goes, definitely do the deal. Helping good people and getting some fun out of it as well as earning a good wedge on top, win win. Great content thank you, I’m hooked
As a former aircraft mechanic, even just what he listed in the combined sounds like there is several million worth of parts there. As long as the stuff is legit, this sounds like the deal of the century!
yeah idk weird i was think multimillion dollar deal
Yea but he said he could get it for 150k lol, I own a r-22 and know that the junk in there is worth hundreds of thousands at that is a massive low ball
As long as there is a market for them. Much will surely be obsolete or otherwise worthless but wouldn't take much to pay for it all.
You'd know infinitely better than I but that sounds like just a couple better racks shown here...couple isles. Several M for red white blue coptor alone, naively could be 10's of millions total.
I think he has made already enough money and was too exhausted to work with the rest of the parts and helicopters while having other storages/hangars so decided to let someone else deal with the stuff while making money out of that deal and selling everything dirt cheap, because at the end of the day your personal health is more important than money.
For what I have seen during your tour, I think you would easily get you money back. But you need to have all the necessary documents for the helicopters and parts as they are so important in aviation. Without those its all scrap in my opinion. Good luck for you! I'm very excited for part 2!
Exatly Hunnicut, you took my thought from my brain too......i think the same, without right papers it's all scrap........but there is a lot of material.....thousands of peaces !!!! My god what a stress !! 🙂
he knows he just had a Blackhawk restored lmao .. And he's owned many other copters since I've known of him
That's part of the reason Joe from Thoroughbred is coming to look it over. It also appeared as though many of the parts were wrapped with documentation attached.
Cant he sell parts over seas without all the paperwork. I heard russia might need some parts
@@ascentimagesllc134 Missed that info! Sweet deal than. Should turn a few bucks and the rest of us get to nod are heads in approval. Only good thoughts for all teams in on this.
Hi there! My dad is a huge fan of yours and loves all of your videos. He’s fighting for his life right now, and asked my sister and me to reach out to you and your community for prayers! The power of love and prayer is real! Thank you ❤️
What impressed me most was Dave's thoughtfulness and all the teams work to bring relief to a man that was at the end of his limits , by not just making a deal and leaving , but taking responsibility to help in getting everything back inside the warehouse again making sure things were secured before leaving .
This guy isn’t afraid to put in the work! More aviation related content is always AMAZING.
No risk no reward .... One thing I like about Dave is he jumps in with both feet. Dave wants this warehouse and I bet he turns it over with a profit and a free chopper too. Go for it! Cant wait for this adventure series.
Dave, you have seemed to get better at spotting these great advancements of your business ventures, you really inspire me to want to do the same thing as you have done. Unfortunately I am about to turn 68 years old and my body has not been treating me so well so it doesn’t seem that I will be able to use your methods of building a business from scratch again. I started out with a floor cleaning company that my parents started in 1948 and as I was growing up, I saw the potential for the future and when both parents passed away in 1975, I took the business from $60K a year to $348K a year by just changing the floor cleaning method of making the cleaning into a moving assembly line with the workers each having a job to do and paying them well, $18.00 per/ hour. We could cover 20,000sq.ft. Per hour with a 7 person crew. Everyone made good money back in 1975 and as I made more money, my workers also made more money! I had some worker’s that stayed with me for 21 years!

This was the first full heavy d video i watched on youtube a year ago. I didnt follow dave than. I followed him not long ago and watched many hrs of heavy d rescuing heavy equipment that nobody else would touch. I think i came full circle cuz now im back at this video. Love the content double D and team!
Do it, make it happen. It definitely be some very interesting content to watch for days. I definitely be watching every episode here on out.
The fact that very piece of equipment has to be certified by the FAA for the helicopter to be flown and insured is huge. Avionics alone could cost upwards to 125,000.00 per helicopter. This guy seems pretty smart andh e has the energy to do it. Heavy D is young enough that no matter how big the mistake is he could come back from it. I wish him well and hope he makes millions.
250k sounds like an insanely good deal. A suspiciously good deal. There must be more to the story. Will be patiently waiting for the next episodes to find out more.
He's probably about to go to prison for embezzlement (under investigation) but if he sells all his shit then the charges can be dropped as the leverage from the warehouse under his name goes away and it's no longer his property to be taken so the charges will be dropped and he's scott free
I second the notion... too many questions I have to do such a deal but hey, it's not me doing the deal, it's HD
Kinda reminds me of doc brown in the movie back to the future, when he says I don't know how they found but they found me
@@13eckerlosmuerte are you just speculating randomly that the guy is embezzling? I saw nothing about that in the video.
@@moshunit96 It's a too good to be true deal. Anyone in aviation knows this is worth way more than 300k. The Eurocopter AS365 Dauphin at 17:54 is prob worth more than 300k. This is a type of deal where the persons world has to be flipped upside down.
Dave, what a huge deal!!! Can’t wait to see part 2.
Wow, this is when you go with your gut, after being around aviators in the military, and just heard how many combine engines alone is worth it. Go for it, those parts alone are way worth it. Cant wait to see you finish the helicopter. This is so motivational!!!
There is a huge real estate component here. The speed at which you can sell the parts needs to outpace what you are going to pay to the Landlord to hold the stuff in the warehouse (and that is a decent industrial warehouse). I'm super stoked to see how this goes. Part II please!
scamm alert
Dave...PLEASE give us a follow up video on how the deal works out. Would love to see the progression of this venture!
I enjoy clean-out, treasure hunting videos so I hope you continue to do these, although I really enjoy your recovery and rescue videos too.
That offer is just too good to pass up on... Great Move & Merry Christmas!!!👍
Just an observation...when the "owner" was walking thru all the inventory..down to the part level, it just reminded me of when you introduced Alan to us as he walked you through his extensive vehicle/parts inventory. You had that crazy "smile" on your face. I suspect this deal will work out just fine. As always, have fun.
I was about to post the exact thing! Must be Alan's brother!!
Exactly what I was thinking too.
What an insane deal, the amount of high value stuff in that warehouse is mind boggling. It's all about having the resources to sell it that makes it so much more valuable, and Heavy D has a team for all that. In the end he could make amazing profits, and I would love to see that main helicopter he was talking about flying...it would be a huge accomplishment with financial gains following the entire process. Some people just know the right people, and have the luck to find them at the right time.
P
You make your own luck.
Probably worth that as scrap. Some very expensive metals used in aircraft.
I would give that helicopter the "Airwolf" upgrade. Use EDFs in the pods, for turbo mode.
@@BigBlockSpence Luck isn't real, randomness is, yet only randomness can be negated by... You guessed it, knowledge of ➡people,🔚 places and things 😉
Great video. I did not know there was a great source of used parts for helicopters like what you have found.
Hey Mr. Sparks you earned 1 new subs from me. I wonder how much fortune you found in there its massive so massive that surely beyond compare to any ordinary garage pickers outa there you must be a super rich guy, who is so low key wearing muscle shirts , so down to earth and so simple but deep inside your a millionaire..I love to watch your videos it is so inspiring and the way you help others is amazing.. keep up the good work Mr. Sparks people someone like you in times of trouble.
I have always been amazed at Dave’s ability and energy to work a hustle. I am sure he will be able to make this pay off for him big time. I greatly admire that drive, energy level and attitude.

Will cost more than its worth...

I have experience on Bells, 204. 206 and 212 models. If you have a 212 in that lot you just purchased you’ll need to look
Carefully at the CGB or Combined gear box.This is the heart of the 212.
I find all of this so interesting, the parts, the whole operation, even the fact that your all very respectful and able to handle the stressful side of it all. A friend of mine spent 2 years in Vietnam with his family so he could find these old factories or hangers burried in the hills full of brand new American chopper motors, still in their crates. He made alot of good friends as he had to make many deals to recover all the bits and pieces. I hope the owner of your deal can unwind and live his life without the stress that he must have.

This is indeed a learning experience. It also looks like a good deal, at first blush, for you. The inventory of what is there will take several people at least 3 months, full time. Getting believable 8130 tags for everything, especially for the life limited items will be at best a challenge. Be nice to your inspector, don't try to sell him a fish. Best of luck with this deal. I am getting some good vibes, though it will be the biggest challenge so far.
The parts are easy, it'll be the paperwork for everything that'll be hard!
@@drbarnhart9191 The one airframe he wants which is worth the build depending on the life of that one, appeared to have the log books in it, which makes it much easier to do the paperwork on. Im hoping it goes through just to see the mh-60 get built...
love all the `aerospatiale Puma and Dauphine airframes - hope you get them flying
Well I’m getting caught up on your videos. It’s great to see how y’all made it
You can definitely tell the man loves his craft and work. Its nice to see.
The man know's his helicopter stuff.
But i think he also needs a good sleep
Great to see a man with a world of knowhow
I manage the warehouse next door to this guy and he definitely loves his craft. I used to always be fascinated walking through the warehouse. Funny enough, the deal didn’t happen and I’ve expanded my warehouse into their space lol
This seems like a natural extension for him. Looking forward to seeing what happens.
Aircraft mechanic here. I believe you are absolutely correct about the almost completed “AIRWOLF” (should def upgrade and make it look like airwolf) and some of those parts will recoup far more then your investment total.
Maybe look into the cost guard in Alaska see if they need any parts? I know if it wasn’t for them a lot of fishermen wouldn’t be here rn. I’ve fished up their for a few years now and would be nice to see someone do something for them for everything they do for us out on the boats.
For being sober for more than 7 years this guy gave me the hiby gibies. I am hoping this deal is legit for you Dave
The dude definitely has that look.
@Throw Away I agree I don't like to point fingers but my gut tells me he is a little off. And from being in that world I can usually tell when someone is using.

Gotta go for it Dave. Based on your experience, Your knowledge and your determination and drive, everything you touch turns to gold. You got this.
I mean just look at the state of that operation though. Your literally buying another guy's mess and then spending thousands of hours to even sort through it. If I was Dave I would walk by unless he wants to hire 6-12 helicopter experts full time
Awesome I saw the one helicopter you wanted in a prior video so congrats and think you know what you are doing so once again congratulations.
The background music was perfect . This was so interesting and informative.
risk vs reward and what I've seen from Dave is he has contacts that point him in the correct directions once he has found the deals, Dave you are a smart businessman that knows when to make the deal.
From what I have seen so far here, you cannot lose on this deal. Great move Dave.
i could spend hours looking around that warehouse, so fascinating
I'd be sweating bullets at 1st and overwhelmed with that mass of inventory. But with good contacts , sales and the time, I think it's a killer deal. Good luck on your venture in this !
EC-155 Dauphin is awesome. I didnt see any logs or papers in the video. As you know in aviation, the paperwork is often the most valuable part of the aircraft. Cant wait to see what Joe says.
Wow! I'm glad I'm not the one making this decision but I wish you total success, my friend! I would love to see you get another chopper in your stable! Looking forward to the next video telling about what happened with the proposed deal.
Mad mad mad deal but looks like a good deal good luck with it all it’s a huge commitment to take on you will either make a ton of cash or end up just like the chap you bought it off all the best
Man..... Moving heaven on Earth.
For real a mammoth task.
Best wishes, for sure.
Did you just meet the Allen of helicopters? If those two got in a room together the world might implode 😂
😂😂 right on.. kinda felt like step brothers.. did we just become best friends?? I will call you dragon
Always so happy for guys like Dave, kept pushing when they failed and now are living the dream
Yeah, millions to be made there. AME in Canada here. Even if no paperwork those parts are worth a ton in the experimental world.Nice find man
It won't be today or tomorrow! But he's gonna make a big profit in the near future? There's a lot of money in all those chopper parts? And being new n packaged? Good Deal!!!Mr Sparks
He needs to hire that guy to help put everything back together
As a reseller, I am extremely excited to watch you on this journey!
That is alot of parts, Glad you have lots to choose from.
From what I've seen and from what I know which is very little when it comes to this stuff but I would say it seems to be a pretty good deal considering you also know and have the resources to get rid of everything and I also believe you should be able to get the helicopter that your hoping to get out of the deal for free for the most part..
As soon as I saw this stuff, I was hoping he'd have someone in the business come out and pore over everything. Hearing Jim from Timberland is exactly what I was hoping he'd do. Dave's a smart cookie!
Dave is smart, very organized and business oriented, I think it's a good move for him. He is one that can definately pull it off! It makes me sweat just thinking of how overwhelming it would be but he has a great team of people. I'm excited to see the new helicopter he will have!!!!! Woot Woot
I’m so overwhelmed with all of this good luck
Hello 👋 Dave Sparks and Guys. I was just going to ask if that helicopter was a Coast Guard heli. And you answered that question. So, so cool to see. I've always wondered what $10,000 cash looked like. LoL.
Dave is a very intelligent man. He knows what he is doing and what could possibly go wrong. I think that this is a Golden Deal!! Go with your gut Dave!!❤
This guy is on a different level. I'm not sure anyone could keep up with what he's got going on
Scamm alert
@Eric E 100%
@Eric E that was a little obvious. Hope this inventory is all legit.
Some of those puma and bell helicopters still operate over here in England for bristow helicopters or offshore helicopters for the oil rigs so parts alone there’s a good marketfor parts
10 years from now we'll probably be watching you buy warehouses full of parts for your private fleet of rescued 727's or something. Awesome.
Man I love Diesel Dave and have always wanted to move to the USA from Canada and open my own automotive detail business
You have a bunch of opportunities made with those helicopters. Good purchase!
You all got me pumped for this heli stuff! Hooked me in with the recovery videos, then I really got excited for the Blackhawk project, now this? This is awesome dude, I can’t wait to see what happens! Good luck guys!
If your dreams don't scare you they're not big enough. I think you have the right people in place to make this very successful for everyone. Go for it.
... the famous adage about aviation still holds true .... in order to make a small fortune you first start with large one .... nuff said .... Cheers 😉
