Though she still looked good when I picked her up last week,her 1970s paint and interior were worn in spots, and her avionics needed an upgrade so off I went to the local shop to get the restoration started!

A beautiful set of shots! I love the story behind it all. I might have to something similar.

 

Question - what's the airport you took her too? 

 

Thanks for sharing. :)

I flew her to Jefferson County.
