That's a lot of a/c refinishing. Yeah when I first saw the pictures I wondered about overspray on that a/c in the hangar.
Oh, and the RAM version that adds P&W turbines replacing the Continentals right? I've not flown one of those but I did fly the Corsair which had Garrett's. Of course that was quite a few years ago.

Ok I could quite tell if it had wing mounted engines or pylon mounts, the Vette was in the way! I know on the earlier model Citations they still used de-ice boots.

No over spray. I used a small touch up paint gun to keep over spray to a minium..

Nice job guys.... Larry, I'd watch going in and out of the garage any more... I know what you mean about little things bothering you. Mine's going in for some "Small" body work, stay tuned, and I'm having my guy spray the entire car...

I've flown a RAM 340 out of south texas many years back but I thought it was a Pratt on the 421. Lots of time in the C421, I use to like flying it a lot. The Corsair which was a 441, if I remember correctly, was basically a stretched and wider 421 platform but with Garrett turbines. Either way I liked all those birds.

Dang, I'm trying to do this all from 18 years ago memory.
I knew there was a 425 and a 441, one had Pratt's the other Garrett's. So I have them backwards. the 425 was the Corsair with Garrett's and the 441 was the Conquest with the Pratt's?
I know I could wiki or google this... or go dust off the log books!

That's true...
A close friend of mine sent me a couple vids of snowy approaches into a large mid west city over the holidays on some 737s. Totally illegal to do these days. But just for me and to rub it in I guess and motivate me back into the biz. I love those approaches to minimums (200 feet) on a snowy day and crunching down onto a snow packed icy runway. 120,000 lbs of jet, yeah my kind of fun!
