I stopped by the Cherokee County Airport (47A) this morning and found the Liberty Belle parked on the new apron. It looks like someone is doing some work on her-the turbochargers were removed from engines 1, 3, & 4, and a left wing to fuselage panel was removed with a number of wires hanging out.
Anyone know what's going on? If I can work it around my work schedule I wouldn't mind helping out if they need/want some help.

The wiring project is seperate from the winter maintenance, but proceding concurrently. I would suggest you ask the folks there on a given day if they could use your assistance.

I'll be going back this month to help with the turbo install. Since I helped pull them, I feel obligated to help install the new ones. If you're interested in helping, PM me, and I'll get you in touch with the guy coordinating that job.

Chuck
