Happened decades ago
Phone call from FBO Festus MO airport. Your aircraft ready for pick up.
Went to office of FBO ; PAID BILL. (Annual Inspection) went / out to airplane ready to fly home airport.- Started the pre flight procedure. Inside cockpit Noted two glaring discrepancies (1) Aircraft still moored, tied down - AIRSPEED Indicator reads 40 MPH Tied DOWN!!
Custom headliner ripped. N2890C had been custom upholstered to match my favorite at the time auto mobile.
I went back to FBO office, advised AS instrument. You BLEW it up with shop compressed air. Fix, replace the AS instrument immediately. They Did. I remained extraordinarily calm. Never mentioned a claim for the custom headliner.
