Want to Buy 70mm Black & White Film. Long roll. Aerial Kodak or Aviphot? 5"?

I know, the guy in India has a ton just now but he can't seem to get it to America. Anyone got a partial roll that's just growing hair sitting around? Aviphot 200 Kodak Plus X or Tri X if it's not too old. I want to play with some in my Graflex 3A. Any amount. Also interested in 5" if you have some. I've plenty of 9 1/2" already. Thanks.

I’ve got a roll of 9 1/2. How do you cut it down to size?
Want to use it for my 8x10 and 4x5 work. It’s so thin/flexible I don’t have a reliable way to “get it right”.
Thanks!

Rather than answer here I started a thread with pics to show how I do this.

Hopefully someone here can offer you a partial roll, but if you can't find what you're looking for:

[As I'm sure you know] There's two main sellers of 70mm(+) aerial film coming out of India on EBay under the names padmavati_enterprise (https://www.ebay.com/itm/184966144602?hash=item2b10d7625a:g:NBYAAOSwJZhgtxMr#shpCntId) and bombaymarket (https://www.ebay.com/itm/234292883596?hash=item368cf1b08c:g:39cAAOSwWzlhljhA) but they both only offer standard shipping to the US (which is probably why they're having trouble getting stuff into the US). You should ask them if they're willing to ship via FedEx, UPS, or DHL express which should get the film into the US with relatively few problems (aside from x-ray screening EX-Mumbai & at US Port of Entry).

There's also two B&W Kodak 70mm films avaliable Stateside on EBay:
Plus-X 70mm 100ft (auction ends in 30 hours): https://www.ebay.com/itm/324936464189?hash=item4ba7b8f73d:g:s7MAAOSw0vhhqTFN
Tri-X 70mm 15ft (box is open, would have to message the seller about the can inside): https://www.ebay.com/itm/143928386274?hash=item2182cce2e2:g:iKMAAOSwx4JfHbTw

Thanks all. I’ve found some film.
