That thing is beautiful! Great colors also. If you were trying to capture the true meaning of "above and beyond", I think you were successful. I feel bad for your poor 206.

Re: My Long Caravan Project is Almost Done

Great looking exterior. What do the innards look like? Do you have it set up with a bunch of seats, or with a camping interior? I remember seeing shots of an old Goose set up as an aviation motorhome years ago and thought that was the coolest thing ever. Just curious about how you plan to use this beast and how you've configured the interior to support that mission.

Re: My Long Caravan Project is Almost Done

A genuine dream plane for me.

I'd configure it like a flying/floating RV :P
