Re: Listing of recommended Pre-Buy Mechanics?

I am "sold" on the idea of getting an IA who is familiar (and wiling/interested) with 170s to do the inspection. Getting an honest assessment of the condition of an classic aircraft is a crucial part of the buying process for me...and probably for some other people looking to own 170s. It ...
