Pilots,
Please join me in making a maintenance face at the following winged hoodlums:
Cessna 20U has her engine returned and mounted, however, we have discovered some weakness in her exhaust stacks and stripped threads in one of the fuel pickup lines. We will be straining to get these issues resolved, but the new expectation is Wednesday.
Cessna 04H's prop has been found to be sufficiently dinged to warrant an engine teardown of her own. Expect 2-3 weeks of additional downtime. Sorry, 04H pilots!
While we wish very much that these aircraft were ready, the truth is, there is just no rushing things in aviation. We wish our planes to be mechanically sound first, and convenient to schedule second. My apologies to the students who have been adversely affected.
We are actively seeking a Cessna 150 for the line. More as I know it.
Blue Skies -- what a nice weekend it was!
- Mike
