Pat,

   If AIG insists = upon implementing=20 this policy, I don't see why any DAR can't be allowed to do the = inspections, as=20 they're allowed to sign off the planes as safe for flight in the first=20 place.  It would surely involve paying them to do it, but it would = be=20 cheaper than ferrying the planes to Redmond to get it done.  What I = don't=20 get is the fact that I have yet to hear of a single crash that was = caused by an=20 airframe related failure.  I think AIG is barking up the wrong tree = here=20 and needs to focus 100% of their concern on the training = side.
   I hope Joe and Tim have something to say on this matter, as this = added burden on owners would (or will) certainly put = a large=20 dent in Lancair's future kit sales.
