Grand Caravan Goes "Down Under"

A company in Australia needed a Grand Caravan to lease to the Australian authorities for surveillance and other work.

The company contact EastWest Aircraft for assistance in the project.  Several aircraft were evaluated and information was sent to Australia for review.  Two airplanes were identified as being the best values for the particular mission in Australia.  

Jerry met the Aussie in Kansas to view the first airplane, then traveled with him to Maryland to see the other airplane and make a detour to nearby Washington, DC, for a tour of our nation's capitol.

The decision was made to pursue the airplane in Kansas.  Our Aussie colleague returned to Kansas to begin the Pre-Purchase Inspection.  Once the aircraft passed the initial inspection, he returned to Australia.  At the completion of the Pre-Purchase Inspection, Jerry went to Kansas for the final approval, then moved the airplane to Chicago for modifications requested by the Aussie purchaser.

EastWest oversaw the modification process as well as the movement to escrow for the closing of the purchase funds and all necessary paperwork, including de-registration from the US and registration in Australia.

We also assisted the Australian ferry pilot who picked up the airplane in Chicago for the long trip to its new home in Australia.

Another successful sale to a very satisfied customer with supervision by EastWest of the entire process from the initial evaluation of available aircraft top the closing of the transaction and export of the airplane to Australia!
