[net.aviation] [sail]plane financing

This is in response to a financing question from Randy. 

When I was considering buying a used airplane, once, it was rather easy
to find banks willing to lend money.  As is the way of banks, they offered
to lend as much as they felt they could sell the thing for, if they had
to.  In the particular cases I investigated, this turned out to be
about 80% of the purchase amount.
