Interior Notes
The interior is mostly original and in fair condition. The seats and carpet are showing normal wear for its age. The headliner is in good condition. The carpet in the baggage area has started to fray in some areas. There is some wear on the pilot’s side panel where the outer red fabric has worn through.
Exterior Notes
The aircraft’s paint is in good condition overall. It features a white base accented by red and grey stripes. There are a few minor paint chips near the cowl area, but nothing significant. Overall, the exterior presents well!
