Very well done, John. I'm sure you're very proud.

I previously saw some of Brian's schemes with the A* and they were all fantastic. It (like Mooneys) is a challenge IMO, but he sure has a great eye for these things. I think the original A* schemes are slightly awful and don't help the plane at all, but perhaps that is what was en vogue in the 70s.

John,

What a beauty! That plane looks like it has been lovingly cared for.

Best Regards,

Kevin

Not sure what Sweetie is. Her mother, an American Bulldog, adopted me one day as I was running past the pound. Obviously someone had dropped her off not wanting to deal with her very pregnant condition.

The brothers and sisters went to Colorado to be adopted. Sweetie, well, she's just that. Worked her way into our hearts before we could get her away.

Her biggest asset is that we are not molested by raccoons, moles or armadillos; she kills them on sight. She can smell a mole and dig him out so fast that you would think she had a excavator at her disposal. She stays with me all day, has her own recliner in the den, and sleeps in a chair next to my bed.

We have five other dogs, all strays we picked up or that picked us up. Needless to say, Sweetie is the Alpha male and female.

Most of the curs go back to a bulldog line somewhere in their past, I could tell she was well kept and Probably your sidekick, those yellow curs usually make good dogs and not as hard headed or rank as a blue leopard. I have a blue leopard that go with me most of the time kinda hard headed though. Rawl

I love the Aerostar.

Best product Piper ever made.

Performance is stunning, even with the "small" engines.

That's because they didn't design it. It was taken over from Ted Smith's company.

I received a PM from a member on Mooneyspace today that Brian Smith, the gentleman who designed the paint scheme for my Aerostar, passed away. He had apparently been battling lung cancer for quite a while.

Brian was resident of Carrollton, TX. A very accomplished gentleman who will be missed.
