In a dramatic turn of events, the Cleetus McFarland team encounters their first Falcon crash, a heart-wrenching blow to their aspirations of flying the majestic aircraft. Acquired from Facebook Marketplace for a mere $15,000, the Falcon quickly turned from a bargain to a financial nightmare with a staggering $3 million repair quote. Undeterred, the team orchestrates the transport of the Falcon to the Freedom Factory, where they dream of reviving its engines for one last roar.

With a mix of trepidation and excitement, the team lends a hand in the meticulous process of removing the Falcon's wings, a task made challenging by corrosion and years of disuse. As bolts are collected and plans to sell the engines are discussed, the team marvels at the Falcon's unique swept wings, reminiscing about the aircraft's historical significance in the realm of business jets. Amidst jokes about turning the Falcon into an Airbnb and admiration for its Bugatti landing gear, the team's dedication to preserving the aircraft's integrity shines through.

However, just as hope begins to soar, disaster strikes as the Falcon sustains accidental damage, shattering their dreams of flight. Yet, with insurance coverage in place, the team remains resilient, ready to face the costly repairs head-on. As they bid farewell to the transport team and set their sights on the future at the Freedom Factory, the saga of the Falcon takes a bittersweet turn, showcasing the highs and lows of their ambitious journey with this iconic aircraft.
