    Restoration completed.
    Cary Baker reports - 11 January 2013: In the process of restoring the instrument panel, many of the original instruments were found to be defective and in need of overhaul.


    Photographer: Cary Baker
    Notes: This paint scheme was taken from the 2012 Hawker Beechcraft website. It has given new life to an otherwise aging and forgotten airplane and definitely turns heads on the ramp.
