A typical week long annual (evenings and weekend) turned into more than I bargained for this time. Good thing the owners have deep pockets.

I am falling behind on my home/auto/property winter preparations this fall!
There used to be a really nice Pratt & Whitney turbine conversion for that aircraft, more or less turns it into a T-34C.
