We recently took possession of our new-to-us, 40 years old, P337. An odd duck in many ways, it's the right airplane for us at this time. However, being our first pressurized airplane, we're starting to realize that we can't just open the windows to bring in cold air, so we're thinking about installing AC. The STC owner for AC is Aviation Enterprises in Tennesse (owner: Owen Bell) http://www.cessnaskymaster.com. Do any of you have any experience with that shop? The quality of their work? Their timeliness? Recommendations pro or con? ...? Thanks, - Bjorn

Glad to hear you got one, I'm sure you'll like it. It seems to suit your needs perfectly.

Hi Ken,
Thanks, we definitely like it and we really appreciated the ride you gave us in your P337 a while ago. It opened our eyes to what pressurized twin flying (with benign engine-out behavior) is really like--and flying back from Phoenix on Sunday made it clear we made the right choice for our missions.
Our P337 has an Aspen PFD, Garmin 430 and MX-20, GTX-345, and STec-60. So we are already in good IFR shape and ADS-B ready, although we do think often about the next steps in panel improvements 
Between the two of us we have 3 planes (Cardinal, Bonanza A36TN, and now the P337) in adjacent hangars, so we seem to be joining the other BT'ers that own a fleet of aircraft. Thankfully our respective spouses are both supportive of our aviation habits!
Best,
Bruce (& Bjorn)
