November, 1999.  Santa Rosa, CA.
 

I have just finished washing 54Z for the first time and it sure looks good.  I had contracted Cleon to ferry the aircraft out to California and he and another pilot managed to fly across the country in three days following a gap between two storm systems with no weather delays.  Aside from some strong headwinds over the plains states, the trip was relatively free of weather delays which was a great bit of luck considering the time of year and the distance crossed.
