Hound Dog Aviation BACK TO THE HUB
The smarter way to move a trophy asset

2,000 years of barter didn't fail.
It just never had a search engine.

So don't sell your aircraft, yacht, or business — trade your way into what's next. Post what you've got, and HDA's match engine hunts the whole post for the swap — or the three-way deal — that gets you the asset you actually want, verified on every side and closed clean.

The Trading Triangle

One loop. Everybody wins.

A three-way trade sounds complicated — it isn't. Watch how three owners each give once and get exactly what they came for.

Three owners. Three wants. No straight swap…
Values differ a little, so one small cash boot ($40k) trues it up — every side closes at fair value.
Why it actually works

A trade this big needs an expert you trust.

Swapping airplanes is the oldest idea in aviation. Doing it safely, cleanly, and in your favor is the new part — and it's what we do.

01
Bodhi

Bodhi finds the match

Our engine hunts every listing for the swap, trade, or three-way deal that fits — the connections a human broker would never spot.

02

TailFaxx de-risks it

Before you commit, every aircraft's logbooks, damage history, and open airworthiness directives are surfaced and scored. No surprises after the handshake.

03

30+ years closes it

Three decades of real-estate and aircraft deal-making behind every transaction. We've seen every snag a title, lien, or prebuy can throw — and we know how to clear it.

04

We organize the whole deal

Escrow, title search, bill of sale, prebuy coordination, logbook transfer. You keep flying — Hound Dog handles the paperwork.

05

Smarter on tax & capital

Real-estate legs can still qualify for 1031 tax deferral, and every deal is structured with your own advisors. Either way, you move equity — not a full cash check.

06

Ridiculously easy

Post from your phone in five minutes. Bodhi does the hunting, we do the closing. The hardest part is deciding what to fly next.

Trade scenarios, scores, and figures shown above are illustrative. Potential tax treatment depends on your situation — Hound Dog Aviation is not a tax or legal advisor; consult your own CPA or attorney before structuring a like-kind exchange.

Bodhi · The Original Hangar Dog
★ The Real Story ★

A real dog. A real family business.

Bodhi was a Walker Coonhound. He greeted every pilot who walked through my hangar at DeLand. He flew right seat on Sundays. He was the best dog I'll ever know.

When we lost him, I wanted to build something worthy of how he treated people — warm, loyal, never in a hurry, and absolutely on your side.

The Trading Post is that. It's the company I'd want to deal with myself. Free to list. Honest pricing. No middlemen unless you want one. And every listing carries Bodhi's nose for what's real.

Howdy, friend. I'm Bodhi — I help folks buy, sell, and trade around the post. Ask me things like "find a Cessna 172 under $80k" or "is this a fair price for a Bonanza?"
