Hi. Jim Murphy here...
Yes, N201XG was in my care for oh... 16 years ... 1999 until 2015. We had a great deal of fun, and nearly 1800 hours of it.
I had the new Paint and Interior done about 2010; and we were poised to be in the Caravan in ... 2011 I think ... when due to weather and flooding, we cancelled the Caravan at the meeting in Madison.
It actually brought a tear to my eye to see the old girl; you have no idea how much I enjoyed this aircraft. I'm pleased to see her in the hands of someone else excited to see her.
I''m glad to see the updated Radios, that's a nice touch. I bough the plane with the standard IO-360-A3B6D that was installed following the burned pistons departing on the first Caravan. I had pistons topped at about 600 hours, and it was getting towards the 1800-1900 hour range when I sold it. Life had changed and I wasn't flying it 200 hours a year anymore and she deserved to be in the air.
So cool to see it back at KPAE where I purchased it from Andy. Flew it home via Portland, Phoenix, Baton Rouge, Homstead FL to Nashua NH. Nice trip, learned a lot about each other, and in the end fell in love.
