Anyone who accepts this is crazy.


Although I always recommend an independent prepurchase inspection to
prospective buyers, I bought my last airplane with a "fresh annual". It
turned out that the plane was annualed by a mechanic that I knew and trusted,
who would have been the only guy in the area I would have hired for the
prepurchase inspection. He gave me access to the full shop work order (i.e.
all of the details of the work done) and pointed out things he thought might
need attention in the future.

Buying a plane that has had a fresh annual from someone I don't know would
definitely not happen.
