Mooney 201 (1979) Click on any of the thumbnail images to see a

Here is a view that shows most of the cabin where you can see the
two tone leather seats. Note the Mooney thunderbird logo on the
back of the seats. This airplane was done in medium blue and light
gray leather with medium blue welt cord to outline the shape of
the seats.
This style of interior has been very popular with Mooney owners
recently.
Here are the front seats. Notice the color coordination between
the seats and carpeting. Also visible is the optional extended arm
rest and matching seat belts.
Here are the rear seats. The 1979 model year had a bench style rear
seat. While still a bench, Lynn does some nice styling here to help
set the seats apart.
This shows the baggage compartment. There are a total of 5 Mooney
thunderbird logos in each of this style interior. Also notice that
Lynn puts a clear vinyl pocket here to keep the required aircraft
documents.
Many have said that when Lynn gets done the baggage areas are far
to nice looking to put any baggage into. Lynn just smiles when he
hears those words.
Here is a good view of the front of the recessed arm rest that Lynn
puts in Mooney aircraft. This shows the location of the headphone
jacks in the front part of one of the rear arm rests. The jacks are
reinforced from below with aluminum so that the repeated pluging in
and unplugging of of the phone plugs will not cause undo wear. This
is the kind of attention to detail that Lynn brings to all his work.
Here is a close up of the standard map/checklist pocket on the
pilot's side. This is one item that owners have asked Lynn to customize
to hold everything from a small flashlight to pens and pencils and
even a pouch to store sunglasses.
This photo also shows a corner of the optional arm rest, and gives
you a look at the stitching on the corner of the seat and welt cord.
This is a 'standard extra' on Mooneys. There is no pocket here on
factory airplanes but it is a very convenient place to store items
that you want to be able to get to easily without entering the airplane.
On this airplane Lynn worked to relocate the baggage area light
switch. In the factory installation the switch was easy to turn on
accidentally. Here, in its new position, it is easily accessable but
not easy to bump to the "on" position.
This owner elected to have Lynn cover the plastic window trims with
ultraleather. This is a vinyl product that wears well and is easy
to clean. Note the stitching in the corner of the window. Also note
the stitching on the corner of the seat and the welt cord.
