The 182 in Georgia...

The first picture of N40BB I saw (KDNL, Augusta, GA)

Searching for the 182 had turned into somewhat of an obsession... between the daily emails from the websites and the constant harassment of the broker (I figure he saw it as harassment, I was just checking up on an investment...).

Googling around one late night (did you know you can google Cessna serial numbers?) led to a plane I hadn't seen on Barnstomers, Controller, or Trade-A-Plane... a gray and darker gray 1977 Cessna 182Q Skylane II based out of Augusta, Georgia. It was listed on the broker's personal website.

I sent an email out to the broker to take a look, little did I know this would become my plane.
