Boy, these guys are making stuff happen! My mechanics are pulling components from my airframe as each sells and the sales team must be sell, sell, selling - there is never a dull moment around here.

The focus today is on creating more space for more disassembly projects, and here at the UAM hangar – they’re taking green to the next level.

I always wondered what happened once all the “good stuff” is removed from an airframe, like mine. From the looks of things, over 90% of any airframe is considered valuable ~ gotta love that when you’re on the project list ~ they respect the sum of our parts. The guys even use the interior carpet for crating and shipping. Amazing!

I’ve seen more than a few aircraft scrappings over the past week. You wouldn’t believe it, but that’s all that’s left at the end of a UAM aircraft disassembly project – aluminum for the final stage of recycling.

Not much activity on my airframe this week, but boy are the A&P mechanics busy. It's astonishing the growing volume of inventory here, and the care involved while pulling and moving parts to the warehouses. And I've never seen anything quite like the custom crates designed specifically for shipping components and related airframe accessories. You can tell these guys are industry experts.

UAM now has two highly qualified disassembly teams - one that administers the aircraft disassembly through its outlined stages, and another that focuses on immediate sales orders. Even I can tell this improves turn-time to customers - you know, my times & cycles aren't what they used to be - but the fact is... better turn-time keeps my fellow aircraft buddies flying high and in tip-top shape. And there's even after-hours services to support AOGs!

These guys are working hard and having fun – I can't wait to see what's next.
