Being used today to visit Troup County HS. Given the effort this entails, I'd assume it is for 2019 recruits. Possibly Kobe Hudson (GTSwarm thread here) and/or Andy Boykin.

We won't be able to complain about not having the financial backing that we need to be successful soon. It's a good day in Georgia.

I don't think we bought it. It looks like stickers were placed on the side, not paint.

Its tail number, which I believe is N102SW (the last letter is cut off in the tweeted pics), is registered to David Lee Aircraft Sales and Leasing which also has a sister company, SOLJETS, which has a branch at PDK. More than likely, this is just a lease, but I love that they put the stickers on it to provide further branding.

Bought or rented doesn't really matter. It's the image presented, and it's a DAMN GOOD IMAGE !!!

It’s becoming more common in business to lease major capital items. You can deduct rent or lease costs annually but you can only take as much depreciation as the government allows for the item. That’s a double edge sword depending on what side of the tax equation you’re on. Also, it frees up capital to expend on other things if you're not having to plunk down the full purchase price.

No navy blue on it either.
Won’t be surprised if we go to black for third color.
That is ok either way with me. Just make up our minds and do it with class.

I doubt that will happen, but I sure wish it would.

He was just responding to the cost being $800k and the finances needed. Nothing wrong with that. Especially on this board where spinners/naysayers always have something to say.

Hope we stole it from ugag. Can anyone envision CPJ or Sewak in this thing? Sweet mother of Pearl!

Yeah many major programs have used helicopters in recruiting and I'm guessing most are leased. Branding is dope (nice). Love it.
