Dropped the 'Ho off Friday for a full repaint and new interior. Two different teams, one on the inside and one on the rest. Hopefully back in 2 months. The interior team is very interesting. Global operations but happy to do GA or large airliners. I found them on some US information on interiors but saw they had an operation In NZ. I contacted them here and volia they were interested and capable. Bigger surprise they are owned out of here. They maintain a manufacturing base in Asia with a few hundred people and ship from there doing final fitting in its local operation. The results I have seen are excellent.

I could choose any material or colour combos and any patterns or design features. It's name is Generation Global.

What I have come to realize the last 3 years is any older aircraft are candidates for a full rebuild. Why? A new C172 is USD$500,000. You can rebuild very capable aircraft like a Navajo or whatever for way less. If I put brand new engines and props on with some.more avionics including new autopilot etc this aircraft would owe me less. Brand new paint and not basic matterhorn white, leather interior, windows, engines, props and avionics. A single higher performance for way less because no Class three equipment.
