Finally today my group has reached the half way mark of our 100 hour/annual inspection on the PA-40 Piper Arapaho. I am really happy to be working on the Arapaho because there were only 3 Arapahos ever made and the 
one that we are working on is the only one left in the world! The inspection we are doing is basically done after every 100 hours of flight or every 12 calender months. So, everything that can come off will be off the aircraft and a complete inspection of the aircraft will be performed. Both engine's inspections are complete and the engines are in the process of being put back together. The airframe still has a little more to go before we start putting back together the body panels and the interior.
