Interior Notes
Interior in great shape. Seats and headliner are newly re-upholstered. Beautiful and classic.
Exterior Notes
Airframe in great shape. Paint looks fantastic from 30 feet away.....up close some of the clear coat is peeling (mostly on the upward-facing red surfaces - this is visible in the pics). These areas could be retouched without painting the whole plane.
