2008 Annual Inspection

Atlas received his FAA-required annual inspection in February this year -- a month early.  By doing the inspection during the worst of the winter, we don't risk the plane being down during the good flying weather.

As always, we did what's called an "owner-assisted" inspection, which means that I do all the dirty work so that we don't have to pay the mechanic/inspector boat-loads of money to unscrew inspection panels, etc..  This year, for the first time, Joe helped! 

Here are some pix from the inspection, the flight that Joe took me on after we were done for the day, and Kent McKee's cool 3-blade Hartzell "Top Prop"...

Always interruptions...

A thorough preflight, despite the bitter cold...

Look at that sky -- one of the few VFR day in February

Check that gas!
