This is a great refresh package of the main gear after 38 years of service.

Great upgrades for the 185! Tommy Anderson at TLGW’s gave me one of my first jobs in aviation, 37 yrs ago. Followed by a couple years working for the Knopps at PPonk Aviation. Most of my early career was spent in a 185 on floats. Most fun I’ve had in aviation! I’d enjoy stopping by your hangar sometime to talk P cars and 185’s!
