A new Digital Nav/Comm and return-to-function of both VORs. (she was VFR only for a while)
Rudders completely rerigged and are now looser/more compliant.
A cylinder top overhaul to return smoothness and power to the engine
And all sorts of other niceties that pilots should enjoy.
For those of you who switched to C172s to hide from the maintenance doldrums, we would like you to try 08F once again and give us your feedback. Fly Corona! will comp former cherokee pilots 50% of a flight in 08F (up to 1 hour) to test her out and see what you think. Mention it to the office staff when you fly, and we'll split the bill!
We're confident that 08F is a better bird than ever, and that you will enjoy buzzing around the LA Basin with new speed, radios, and a pleasant all-around experience in the Cherokee.
For those unfamiliar with the plane who want to give it a try, book a check-out flight today! (we recommend CFI Jeremy for Piper checkouts)

Cessna 68U has returned from John Wayne with shiny new VORs, ready for the clouds.
Cessna 20U has gone in to John Wayne for a VOR checkup.
Cessna 08V is back on the line after some extended engine troubleshooting.

As we remain in proactive maintenance mode (which is likely to go on through most of March), the following things are likely to occur next week:
Cessna 72F's starter conversion should wrap up.
Cessna 08V VOR replacement.
Cessna 68U interior refurbishment.
Cessna 20U yoke bushing replacement.
And I believe we have a 100hr or two coming up (our 172s will be due)

That's all for now -- Blue Skies!
