Re: N994PT (IVPT) in extensive rebuild now.

I have had little work completed since my last post. I spent the summer and fall finishing a huge EAA Chapter Hangar project (I’m the president) that has been ongoing for 5-6 years.

So, here’s our thread for 2025! Sorry, not my Lancair “YET”, but an amazing sunset none the less! Pictures of our d...
