Not sure it gets any better than @Mike_Patey's Draco in the beautiful mountains of Alaska during the Great Alaskan Aviation Gathering!
It's an honor & our great pleasure to get to work on Mr. Patey's @PWCanada PT6A engine!
What are your big 2023 #Aviation goals?
Whatever you do, do it legendary and true to the classic roots of this great industry! 📷 from @wsairmuseum
Nothing encapsulates that spirit more than the T6 Texan powered by the legendary @prattandwhitney #R1340.

Attending the 2022 #AgAviationExpo 2022 in Knoxville, TN and we are so excited to share our restored 1972 Ford F100 with everyone at the show!
This truck, number 1, was used by our founders Paul and Betty Abbott to visit clients and offer engine service. In honor of Covington Aircraft's 50th anniversary, our team restored the truck and added a powerful 160 horsepower 390 V8 engine.
Every team member signed the truck as a sign of gratitude for the hard work and values that Paul and Betty have instilled in us. Come by and see us at the expo to check out the truck and learn more about Covington Aircraft!

Understanding why can help you understand why that radial engine – though an old model – could still be the best call for your plane. Read more at our latest blog post covingtonaircraft.com/2022/0…
Here are 5 basic suggestions on short-term radial engine preservation storage from the intrepid long-time radial expert at Covington, Ron Hollis!
1. Change oil prior to storing an engine as old oil may be contaminated.

4. Engines being stored without full preservation should be turned through each week. covingtonaircraft.com/2022/0…
5. Call us for information or supplies needed for preserving your engine! covingtonaircraft.com/2022/0…

Christmas is right around the corner, and we found what we want under the tree.
Da Plane? Or a model plane? The mind can play tricks on you! Gotta love a Beaver on Floats!
