The attention to detail and pride shown by DeWitte Binkley and his team is second to none. Whether you like my chosen scheme or not, a Sureflight’s product speaks for itself.
I’ll get some better pictures that show the “glass” feature of the paint.
They did put the erosion boots on. I was a little concerned about speed loss but the first flight speeds looked normal.
Perfect flight home. No squawks.
The actual highlight of the day was meeting BT’r Rich Palmer and getting to peek at a few beautiful and partially disassembled warbirds. Very impressive. It was great to get to say hi. Thx for the pizza invite. Enjoy your ride, it looks great!

There was a way forward to get it up to speed via Dave Duncan, as the FAA had accepted a program from Piaggio USA/Dave to bring ex-Avantair aircraft back into airworthiness. It would be a lengthy process and at the time on the edge financially. One engine was also missing from it then. Here is the appraisal I got. Attachment: N106SL Revised Report_smaller.pdf

Negligence? Incompetence? Fraud? Lack of oversight?
