NEW ARRIVAL! Low Time - Complete Logs - Ready to Work or Play!

After a lengthy period of disuse, the plane has been "Brought back to life" with an extensive annual in 2018 by San Carlos Flight Center, an extremely well-respected facility, and is back to flying.

Dual instruction, Export and worldwide delivery are available. All trades considered.
