The Learjet repo man

Business has never been better for the fearless pilot who takes back millionaires’ expensive toys. Av alle verdens jobber en fascinerende artikkel om Nick Popovich som jobber med å inndrive fly for långivere. 1300 gjennom karrieren. Til tider ganske actionpreget:

“Popovich’s first rule of firearms is pretty simple: The man who tells you he’s going to shoot you will not shoot you. So without so much as looking back, he got on the plane and flew it right to Chicago. “My job is to grab that plane,” Popovich says. “And if you haven’t paid for it, then it’s mine. And I don’t like to lose.”

Nick Popovich is a repo man, but not the kind that spirits away Hyundais from suburban driveways. Popovich is a super repo man, one of a handful of specialists who get the call when a bank wants back its Gulfstream II jet from, say, a small army of neo-Nazi freaks.”

Og ikke nok med at de henter de fra umulige lokasjoner — noen ganger  må de også reparere flyene først. Hele crazy historien på Salon.com
