Advanced Aircraft Services, Oregon Tank re-seal

[MooneyMitch]

Anyone had experience with these folks for this process?  They're are licensed under the Wilmar gang for this service and they seem to have a good reputation for such.  Thank you.

Don't know them but thier BBB rating is pretty good...

I dont about them exactly but the guys at Willmar seem very picky and do a good job and have a great reputation that I'm sure they wouldn't want to lose by having another shop do less than par work.  But with no experience with them I can't say forsure.

Whoops!  I should have done my homework first.  Good information right here on Mooneyspace already.  Thank you for adding to it though.

Jolie's Mooney is at Advanced Aircraft Services for the complete re-seal, which is performed under license from Wilmar.  Ed and Greg are nice folks and appear quite confident and most qualified for this.  There shop is very neat and tidy too.  They are currently offering a 15% discount on this process.  Looking forward to the final results.  We are supposed to retrieve the plane in 4 weeks.  We'll let you know the results.

Wow. I thought the process was quicker than that. I read somewhere that it only takes a few days. That was supposed to be one of the big advantages over traditional methods. Are you guys getting other things done too?

Maggie II retrieved today from Advanced Aircraft Services!  A glorious day of flying from the Central Coast of CA, up and back...........WOW!

Report: Excellent quality of work and excellent service.  1st Class!  The work was done on schedule and all is well.  Photos to follow.

Now for some baffle repair followed by PAINT for Maggie II.  Zowie!!!!!

No mods for the E model.  It's stock.  Just an exterior freshen up.  We did the interior, panel update [no Garmin or glass] and windows a couple of years ago, now the outside.   She love's it just the way it is.

Honestly, the E such a great airplane, as is the F and all the other Mooney models.  Jolie has not completed her paint scheme drawings yet.  Colors?  Time will tell.

Midnight metallic blue with gold accents for my Maggie II.

Oh well, the cat's out of the bag!

Hmmm, those colors sound familiar...although I went a little lighter with Medium Concorde Mettalic Blue instead...
