John and Ken are aircraft mechanics, but I put them under local flavor because....well....damn. How many people could figure out how to cross a bicycle pump, a first aid kit, a keg-a-rator and a dodge pickup for 4x4 fun in the back mountains of Tahoe, and yes all pieces were attached to each other, and all were necessary to get home. These guys could build a helicopter out of a beer can, a rubber band, some duct tape (substitute gum at will), a duck decoy, and a helicopter. THEY'RE LIKE MacGYVER! Mike was telling me that they're allowed 1 take-off and landing in their driveway, and he talked some air-tractor pilot into letting him sky dive out of his plane. Freakin sweet. So I'm working on talking someone into letting me jump next. Seeing as my jump license is so far out of date, it seems like a good idea. If you have an old car that you want Frankensteined, as long as it has the potential to be cool, they might do that too.

Over the past two years, I've tried to get two planes painted here. The first plane, it was impossible to get any kind of response from them. When they finally did respond, I had already taken the plane down to Corona Air Paint. The owner over there, Ilio is super responsive. He even texts you to keep you in the loop. When I bought my second plane, I asked for a quote. They provided a quote for the wrong work. I then brought my plane to them and met with the owner and a number of staff members. They said they'd send over a quote right away. We're not at the 6-week mark -- still no quote. Over 10 emails sent, numerous phone calls taken...nothing. I simply can't recommend this shop. I see them doing all these planes for popular YouTube pilots, maybe that's all they have time for these days.
