While landing in Marsh Harbour, Bahamas last week I managed to overcome the nose gear leg's ultimate strength on my 6A. What to do in a remote airport in a foreign country??
That's when I remembered that Jesse Saint of Saint Aviation is in Florida and has been a frequent contributor on the forum. I called Jesse and he stayed late that night to take a gear leg and fork off one of his aircraft, added a new retainer bolt and then sent it with one of his pilots to West Palm Beach so it could be loaded on Bahama Air and sent to me the very next day. I was able to replace the gear leg and fly my 6A home the following weekend.
Words seem to be inadequate to thank Jesse enough. Jesse's help and professionalism was over the top! He willingly went so much further out of his way than I could ever have expected. He saved my vacation and eliminated the very high anxiety I felt thinking I might have to leave my plane out on the Island. Jesse even volunteered to come out and help do the replacement if need be.
Incredible kindness and concern from a person I have never met.
If you need service for your RV Jesse and Saint Aviation are in Florida just SW of Ocala at X35 - Marion Co airport. That kind of caring is very hard to find anymore.
Again - Thanks so much Jesse!
