Description: FRESH MIKE JONES ANNUAL IN PROGRESS! Doesn’t get any better than a built-in, no-cost, top-tier prebuy.
Legendary DNA from ’77, Reborn in ‘24
Donny Gabriel of Mason Amelia is thrilled to showcase N80LK. Fit for a connoisseur, this ain’t Grandpa’s Cadillac! It offers the very latest tech, performance, style, and safety, graced by the distinction of being a “Lock & Key” Navajo, and restored by none other than Mike Jones.
The Process. This is a guaranteed best-of-breed Navajo that transcends all others. This airplane has undergone a complete restoration, with every component and detail meticulously examined for improvement opportunities. This isn’t just about looking good. A Lock & Key Navajo is rebuilt with purpose. Every engine and airframe mod is chosen to deliver more power, more lift, and less drag. These aren’t nice-to-haves. They’re the baseline. The process was so comprehensive that it took two full years to source the perfect airframe and complete…
The Power. The Panther conversion introduces a nice performance bump with better-than-factory blueprint Lycoming engines, delivering relentless power and reliability. But the real show starts up front. The panel is unapologetically “Garminized.” Lima Kilo is sporting every product you can think of, rocking more touchscreens than a Tesla showroom, and built to flex until nothing compares.
The Experience. For those lucky enough to ride in the cabin, the brand-new, contemporary interior sets a silky-smooth ambiance. Nothing was overlooked. Every surface, every stitch, every detail is fresh, and lacquered woodwork looks wet. Cost was never a factor. The exterior appearance is next level. Winglets and Q-Tip props round out the Panther conversion and add a bold signature to its physical stance. Paired with midnight blue and white basecoats accented by gray and gold, this machine is a standout from every angle.
The Video. N80LK offers such a tremendous opportunity that we had to see it for ourselves. We look forward to sharing our walkaround video coming soon to our YouTube channel: Looking for Higher.
