The Real Story

Named for a good dog.
Built for good people.

Hound Dog Aircraft is a family business out of DeLand, Florida — a warmer, more honest way to buy, sell, and trade aircraft and everything around them.

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.

How the Trading Post Works

Three steps. No nonsense.

Find or list it

Search across every category at once. Or list yours from your phone in five minutes — Bodhi will help fill in the spec sheet using just your N-number.

Verify with PlaneReports

Every aircraft with a tail number links to its PlaneReports records report — FAA registration, NTSB history, airworthiness directives and any logbooks the owner has shared, with a 0–100 score of how much documented history was located. The PlaneReports Score measures how much of an aircraft's documented history was located — not its condition, airworthiness, or value. Verify everything against the original records and your own pre-buy inspection.
