Interior Notes
Recently refreshed (2025) interior looks and smells nice. Gray leather and cloth insert seats, clean side panels and carpet, gray leather-like headliner crisp and fresh.
Exterior Notes
Great ramp presence with nice looking exterior. Leading and trailing edges of wings and tail look nearly perfect, no hangar rash or hail damage. Tops of hand-crafted wings beautiful. Body in really good condition, paint looks great. Only a couple of very minor, difficult-to-spot cracks in the paint. Tinted Plexiglas windows look nice with no haze. Tires healthy.
