Thanks Jay!

Well worth the endeavor! Didn't realize how much one misses
committing aviation when not PIC for seven weeks! I been safety pilot
and flew commercial, but still nothing like floating along aimlessly
at 110 knots without a care in the world. Only difference now, is I
have more cushion to cushion my tush. Doesn't soften the landings LOL

Beaut!

Feels good HUH?

Did same to our Warrior, I KNOW how much is involved!

Congrats!

Dave

Thanks Dave! While the downtime is never fun, for the flying I do, it
wasn't a big deal, and would I do it again? Absolutely!

I can believe it.

When I was ooking at aircraft, jsut the feeling of sitting in a new interior
was very nice. That's one of the things I'm looking forward to most in a
month or so.

Yep, a new leather interior is like getting an extra 20 knots in cruise.
We re-did ours in '04.

I'm really looking forward to the smell of new leather, too...N55ZC's
interior will be all leather, silver gray with blue piping at the seams. I
got the Temperfoam seats, too.

I love the smell of a leather car interior, and I'm sure the plane will
smell even better...

Actually, the comfort level makes you wish you had 20 knots LESS in
cruise.

NOT!!!!!!!

For me, don't need faster, just flying is good for me! Only
requirement I had when buying a plane was a four place and the
Sundowner fit the bill for creature comfort.

There was one in the flying club I learned at...until, one day, a guy wiped
it out on landing at Austin Mueller. (Idiots in the tower held the crash
truck response until an airliner holding on the threshold could take off.)
Nice airplane. Didn't know it came in a retractable version, though...
