Upon taxying in and immediately after shutdown, my sister and I sprinted to the maintenance hangar on the western side of the tower. (I knew where the toilet was there, for her use.) Afterwards we returned to the A36 Bonanza for photos. I see those photos daily as they're in my lounge room at home.
I remember it well, GIII. We are fortunate that most in GA - including GA training and maintenance organisations at YPPF - have a little more humanity than the airport corporations milking every red cent of profit they can out of what are supposed to be public assets.
