Interesting question ... at least for me, I think the issue is further

The plus on dealing with the overhaul ourselves is that we can have it 
done by someone we trust (like Penn Yan), and know that things are done 
right, and end up with a plane that runs longer.  But it does mean an 
initially longer lead time until we can actually fly the thing.

I know!  That was a surprise find.  At least the shipping charges would 
be modest.  ;-}
