      It's just a ploy for his flip-it series he is working on behind the scenes. Buy a plane, hype it up, sell for a hefty markup and on to the next one. I think he is taking skydiving instructions in case he can't flip it for a profit - then he can just take it up for an unexpected engine failure and bail out. He recently flipped the grumman he did an ad spot on. Took time to move it, though, so I thought it might wind up as a cornfield crater in the Texas cotton belt.

    Nice ad, but it seems a bit too positive for a one door plane. I'm surprised it (still) has air in the tires, as that place looks familiar. I liked the leg room. How many adult octopuses will fit on the back seat? Those guys have some legs! Not sure if they have tows, but imho octopuses should never ride along in the front seat.
