Hang around general aviation airports long enough, and you’ll probably run across someone with a beautifully restored classic airplane, one they might have found as a wreck in someone’s garage or even in a barn. That scenario means the chance to save some significant money making an airplane fly again, assuming, of course, the new owner has the patience to survive the restoration efforts. These kinds of classic finds are usually limited to an old Aeronca Champ, or a Piper Cub or maybe an antique Taylorcraft. But a pressurized, single-engine turboprop…never. At least until now.
