Interior Notes
Restored by the previous owner with leather seats and new carpet, along with interior panels. The leather seats are a light grey which do not get hot in the direct sunlight and are incredibly comfortable. The large headrests make cross country flights relaxing.
Exterior Notes
Painted in 2023 at Master Aircraft Services in Wickenburg, AZ. The aircraft is painted in a patriotic red, white, and blue fashion with an American flag on the tail. The paint job is commonly praised at local airports for its condition and value.
