Does Anyone have the old “Airplane for Sale” Template?

Doug used to have a very complete template for an airplane sale add as a Sticky at the top of the Classifieds, but its not there anymore - and he has gone looking for it. But I suspect someone out there might have saved it away somewhere they can find…..
 
I had it as a sticky years ago and then I accidentally deleted it. If we can create a new post here with some ideas, we can make this the new sticky.

Sorry gang
 
This is an actual ad that followed the template and ran years ago. I saved it as an example. You could probably use this as a starting point. I removed personal info of the original seller
