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.  ;-}
