The Article highlights a repair of a Grumman Widgeon

The AOPA.org article which is currently posted on the AOPA website by following THIS LINK features quotes from Jerel Bristol, President of SEAL Aviation as well as a great summary of how repairs like this are performed. This complex process is summed up nicely with the following quote:

“Our process is exactly the same whether we’re working on a corporate or military jet or a vintage seaplane,” Bristol said. “We perform multiple pressure tests, we get inside and thoroughly prep the wing and apply new sealant. Then we verify that everything works the way it should, and we don’t leave until the job is done properly.”

Additionally, the article refers to the passion SEAL Aviation has for vintage aircraft. The challenges posed by these aircraft require years of experience and resources to call upon to ensure the job is done right the first time. The SEAL Aviation "get it done right" mentality is on full display in the article.

“They’re pieces of history and works of art,” he said. “There’s no manual for how to remove a self-sealing fuel tank from a Sea Fury and replace it with something entirely new—but we figure it out. And we meet some really great people along the way.”
