Then its better to have a dealer purchase the aircraft and hold it for
him. If you transfer it into your name first you'll have to pay sale/
use tax of about 8% to the state. The dealer should be able to help
you with the paperwork to change the N number to your friend's county
(since he cannot legally own an N numbered aircraft). He may need an
airworthiness inspection when he gets it home (a bit like a super
annual to verify type certificate conformaty).
