AINsight: Aircraft Buying Is a Marathon, Not a Sprint
Aircraft buyers should be focused on finding the right aircraft and doing proper due diligence instead of racing to meet a deadline to capture a tax play.

It is a funny thing, trust and confidence. Neither happens by accident and if they do, they're usually not sustainable.

I sometimes hear from a prospective business aircraft buyer, “Bring me an airplane, and if I buy it I will pay you.” A seller might say, “I don’t want to lock my airplane up, whomever brings me a buyer I will pay.”
