The team embarks on a journey filled with excitement and surprises, making pit stops in Florida and Georgia along the way. As they navigate the skies, the sheer power and speed of the Blackhawk leave them in awe, likening the experience to driving a luxurious motorhome through the clouds.
Upon arrival at the paint shop, the team is met with a shocking revelation – the Blackhawk is cloaked in not one, not two, but a staggering nine layers of paint! With Paul at the helm, they dive headfirst into the meticulous process of stripping away the excess layers to reveal the gleaming bare aluminum underneath. The meticulous work uncovers hidden details like Bondo and previous repairs, shedding light on the helicopter's storied past.

With the paint job underway and plans for a sleek, single-color layout in the works, anticipation builds for the grand reveal in a few weeks' time. The team's dedication to perfection and their unwavering commitment to restoring Consuela to her former glory is a testament to their passion for aviation excellence.
