    Drove down to Cincy today. Stopped by Jetfixr's hangar. The Weasel and crew are slammed with work. Doesn't look like the sky is falling anytime soon around there. I'm really impressed with his operation...and his customers must be too. Probably 50 million dollars worth of planes there today.
    Or more. :)
    Even rode along on a test flight of a Beechjet. Kinda like the Ferrari of private jets!
    If I ever can afford a jet, I know who'll be taking care of it!!!

    Im guessing that is one of the hangers at Lunken airport due to the private jets. Do they really use the willy's jeep to push the planes around?

    Great pics. Who's who on the stairs of the jet?

    Notice the Ferrari banner hanging in the back of the hanger? Doesn't Ian have an auto lift in there too?


    BTW, stop fooling around on FChat and private jet rides and get my engine done. :D

    They already have the tan interior, I say paint them all red!

    Then, fender shields!

    :)

    Nice pictures and if "the weasel" can keep jets flying, he certainly can keep ferrari's on the road. Good work!

    Well,

    Thanks for the compliments we try really hard to keep things just right and have been blessed with plenty of work...

    There are 6 of us total....The rest of the folks were inside.....And yes, there are Ferrari, Lambo, Lotus, and Porsche flags everywhere...We are all motorheads and enjoy cars so we thought the decor was appropriate:)

    Are you in part of the country that calls everything a 'coke' or is it really a coke? :D

    Gotta fool around on here sometimes to get a break!! Spent all night last night photoshopping pics for Dave Helms.

    I did get your engine un-crated today :)

    Yes, we order Coke everywhere around here. "Is Pepsi ok?"---the usual reply.

    Can't wait for the test ride in the jet the Weasel and crew are in the picture with-- that jet is huge as far as private jets go!!

    Nice facility. You were smart to stay in general aviation. I have a friend who works for Delta as a shift supervisor, he's not a "happy camper". Are you strictly A&P, or do you also work on avionics?

    Forgot to post this pic of Jetfixrs dog. I guess he's taking the dog out trick or treating on Halloween.
    Is this guy ate up with planes and cars or what???
