- Interior Notes
- New interior just a few months ago, done in medium gray, leather and cloth insert seats. No more factory crushed velour! This interior looks really nice.
- Exterior Notes
- Nice looking exterior. Paint looks great (due to always hangared). Only a couple of very minor, difficult-to-spot cracks in the paint. No damage or issues. Leading and trailing edges of the wings and tail look nearly perfect, with no indication of hangar rash or hail damage. Tinted Plexiglas windows look nice with no evidence of haze.
