Interior & Exterior

Interior Rating: 7/10

Paint Rating: 8/10

Paint Year: 2005

Interior Notes: Blue w/ cloth seats. Though original, the interior presents itself in good overall condition with well-preserved materials and a classic, period-correct look. Normal wear is evident on seating and trim, but everything remains clean, functional, and representative of careful use over time.

Exterior Notes: The aircraft was stripped and painted in 2005 in a white and blue Piper Scheme. The exterior presents in great condition, with a glossy, well-maintained paint finish and clean, straight body lines throughout; reflecting careful ownership and consistent upkeep.
