Hello, I’m the new owner of 466. I live in Ft Stockton (way west Tx). 466 is in reasonable good shape, last annual was in 2009. Can anyone point me to an ANP that knows 1-26s and could give me an in depth annual and inspection? I call Robert Mudd but he is retired. I really would like to get 466 back in the air.
