It seems like yesterday (September 2012) that we took delivery of what was then our creaky-but-serviceable Debonair. Now, its transformation is nearly complete. We put in a new windshield, tinted side windows, flap and aileron gap seals (thanks to D'Shannon Aviation), replaced the agglomeration-of-the-ages (sixties through nineties) instrument panel with the latest and greatest (thanks to principal contributors Aspen Avionics; Garmin; R.C. Allen; Alpha Systems; Electronics International; PS Engineering; CO Guardian; and master installer Santa Fe Aero Services), put in a new 70-amp alternator from National AirParts, then had KD Aviation paint Scheme Designer's inspired design treatment that features amusing decals bearing facts about the Deb in an often humorous vein. Then we put the airplane on display at EAA AirVenture. Whew, lotta work. And travel.
