We are in instrument/radio squawk mode, as certain of our birds seem to be giving us attitude. Specifically:
Cessna 68U will be receiving an altimeter check to maintain IFR standards. We have heard that she is sliding slightly out of tolerance.
68U is also having static in her com2 radio which we hope to eliminate.
68U also appears to need a Turn Coordinator Gyro overhauled. We will be swapping in a known good instrument while 68U's is out for overhaul.
Cessna 20U will have a NAV indicator replaced and a VOT performed. Also 20U has caught the mysterious "Disco Gyro" problem which plagued us with 04H recently.
Cessna 04H has a nav/comm in addition to a faceplate on order.
Cessna 08V will also receive an altimeter check along with 68U to verify her Mode C operation. (some have reported intermittency)
08V will also have an electrical checkup to identify sources of broadcast static on the radio.
Cessna 17J flies nice and still has "new plane scent"

As always, we appreciate reported squawks from our pilots.
Blue Skies!
