I hope you take it on Steve. I know you'd do it right. Not sure you want more headache though!

 

[Steve Pierce]

I don't want the business, just a bunch of their equipment.

Wag-Aero's Demise

I went to the Wag-Aero website today only to be redirected to an announcement from Aircraft Spruce that it has acquired Wag-Aero. Consolidation probably inevitable, but not particularly welcome. Hopefully Spruce doesn't end up owned by private equity. Then things could get really tense for GA...

"Then things could get really tense for GA.." Already happening: Go price a part in the Hartzell universe. I needed a new waste gate controller for my 206 last spring. $4800. My mechanic said he had purchased the same for another customer just 6 months earlier for $1800.

Yep, and the quality and service has gone to shit as well.

How did you make out on auction, Steve?

I forgot about it and did not bid. Too many irons in the fire recently.
