Each day, the team at Aircraft For Sale picks an airplane that catches our attention because it is unique, represents a good deal, or has other interesting qualities. You can read Aircraft For Sale: Today’s Top Pick at FLYINGMag.com daily.
Today’s Top Pick is a 1966 Piper PA-30B Twin Comanche.
Piper initially designed the PA-30 to replace the PA-23 Aztec, which had gained a reputation as slow and underpowered. The PA-30 was sleeker, more attractive, and a better performer. With speeds reaching 170 ktas and modest fuel consumption, the PA-30 became a favorite of individual owners and flight schools. The aircraft also made a number of movie and television appearances, including scenes from The Return of the Pink Panther and American Made.
This Twin Comanche has 5,200 hours on the airframe, 850 hours since overhaul of both of its Lycoming IO-320 engines, and 1,005 hours on both propellers since overhaul. The aircraft received new paint and interior in 2000.
The panel includes an Aspen Evolution 1000 PFD and MFD, a Garmin GTN 750 nav/com, a GNS 430W nav/com, a GMA 350 audio panel, a JPI EDM 790 engine monitor, a GTX 345R transponder, a Garmin G5, and an S-Tec autopilot.
Pilots looking for a sleek light twin with reliable engines, a nicely updated panel, and a flexible seating arrangement that offers extra loading options should consider this 1966 Piper PA-30 Twin Comanche, which is available for $199,000 on AircraftForSale.
You can arrange financing of the aircraft through FLYING Financial Group. For more information, email info@flyingfinancial.com.
