Concerning their Leesburg VA location that has now moved to Winchester VA. Jim Odenwaldt was provided the keys and logs to my aircraft in Feb 2023. I asked that he inspect the aircraft and asvise as to what was needed to make it again flight worthy and that I wanted to sell the aircraft. My specific concerns were cleaning out all bird nests and the like to minimize corrosion and such. I was told that he would have it into be inspected and worked on within 4-6 weeks. Despite repeated calls, he didn't pull the aircraft into the hangar for inspection until Oct of 2023. In Jan 2024, he informed me they had hit a snag in finding parts as the manufacturer was out of business. He indicated they had spent a good deal of time and money (without keeping me apprised along the way) and were at an impass, but would continue seeking a solution and keep me posted. Having heard nothing in quite a while, I contacted Jim in May, 2024 a full 14 months since he had agreed to help get the plane up and running. Jim informed me they had moved the FBO to a neighboring airport and they had the log books. I asked Jim for a breakdown of current expense and status. He said he would get that to me. Not once did Jim ever convey to me their hourly rate (outrageous) or where things stood as work progressed, until such time as they hit a wall having spent substantial money. I never received an invoice. All this while I had been seeking a buyer as Jim had indictated he would help. Communications remained silent. Early May 2025, I began receiving calls and texts concerning purchase of the aircraft. A gentleman (Brad) said he would help me find a buyer to purchase the aircraft. Within a few days he found a buyer. He also became aware of an open invoice (that was NEVER presented to me) and negotiated a settlement with the Fly ADVANCED CEO that i reluctantly agreed too. The buyer reached out to me and we proceeded with the transaction. In the meantime, Fly Advanced filed an improper lien other aircraft, despite Brad's assurances that a deal had been negotiated. This improper and unwarranted lien attempt, caused unnecessary headache and delay. In summarry, Fly Advanced delay, lack of communication and general over all unprofessionalism, created angst, lost opportunity and disgust for all involved. The experience has 100% insured I will never again have or encourage any interaction with the Fly Advanced organization or their affiliates. read more
