Oh, I'd go air, surely. Don't forget to price in a welding torch to weld it
all back together in your trade request. :-)
(let's see now...
One month to take it apart, 3 days to mail it air, 4 months to try to figure
out how to put it back together
vs.
One month to take it apart, 15 days to mail it surface, 4 months to try to
figure out how to put it back together
...that would be 153 days air vs 165 days surface. Seems worth the extra
$6,477 (approximately) to me. :-)... that is only, what, 15 MISB metroliners
or so? )
FUT set to .fun like I should have the first time. :-)
