Exterior
The aircraft was painted in August 1999 by Lancaster Aero (listed as a "Top Paint Shop" in the January 2014 edition of Aviation Consumer Magazine). It has apparently been hangared its entire life, as the quality of the paint is still very good. As you can see, it is painted Vestal White, with a utilitarian grey & maroon stripe down each side. The glass is in very good condition all around and the wheel wells are clean. As you can just make out, the horizontal stabilizers have abrasion strips, and there is some older clear abrasion tape on the wing struts to protect them from dings and chips.
Lift reserve indicator probe.
Interior
The interior seems to have been redone in 1999 as well. As you can see, it was done in no-frills "government gray" fabric, befitting its previous mission. Everything is in good shape, from the headliner down to the carpet (which does show some wear).
As mentioned elsewhere, a few features need to be pointed out here. First, this aircraft is equipped with skylights, extended baggage and a removeable between-seat organizer (invaluable for keeping manuals, charts, pens, glasses, etc). BAS harnesses are installed for both pilot and copilot. There are small vents in each front-row window. The aircraft is also equipped with 12V power, in the form of cigarette lighter-type plugs, in the instrument panel and at both rear seats. This small feature has been a big benefit to my family, as the kids can keep their iPads/iPhones charged throughout our flights, and I can keep the iPad I use for Foreflight fully-charged as well.
