Gave proof through the night that our planes weren’t still there

We recently mentioned, thanks to a reader, that Greenwich residents own an incredibly high number of planes. Sales were robust as late as last summer but I posted an article then that predicted that prices would soon start falling from the sky. Now they have, and used planes are a glut on the market (Bernie Madoff’s boys kept their dad’s jet for awhile even though all other assets had been frozen but that was presumably so that they could get out of the country with hot cash – they needed that plane, man!). Unfortunately, that glut is only growing larger, thanks in part to the efforts of men like this guy, an airplane repo man. He almost always gets his plane, even if the owner flies it out of Westchester Airport and tries hiding it in Arkansas.
