By all means accept graciously the 5 cases of replenishment, but be EXTREeeeeemly careful of making any kind of "down payment." These fellows in cream suits, crocodile skin shoes, panama hats and sunglasses all have very deep pockets and very short arms! You may never see the money again.
No! Dartskipper -- they will never see the money again. If they don't show up with the "merchandise" to be transported, along with a voyage plan, AND the balance of our fee, we'll be taking off with the "Substantial Down Payment" AND full fuel tanks. If they want to mess with us, I'm sure SSR will assist with his whirly-birds, and if push really comes to shove his B29.
