Today’s Top Pick is a 1967 Beechcraft A23-24 Musketeer Super III.

When pilots think of four-place airplanes that make good trainers and starter aircraft for first-time buyers, Cessna Skyhawks and Piper 172s and Piper PA-28s often come to mind.

When someone mentions Beechcraft, we tend to think about the premium, high-performance Bonanza family, not potential bargains. And that is too bad, because the company’s well-built, good-looking Musketeer series can deliver a lot for the money.

Even though the Musketeer is larger and arguably has more to offer than its Cessna and Piper rivals, it typically flies below the radar of many shoppers, mainly because relatively few are aware of the type. Beechcraft came to the basic modern four-place market a few years late and paid the price of obscurity.

For those buyers who do their research, though, the Musketeer can be a good fit with several thoughtful features.
