This Aircraft is a highly modified 1956 Piper Tri-Pacer, or PA-22. In 1997 it was extensively modified, and as a result, transferred from the Certified Aircraft category to the Experimental Aircraft category. Today, with all of the modifications and updating completed, this airplane is essentially a brand new airplane, with a substantial range of capabilities, including exceptional Short Take-off and Landing performance (<500'). Whether bush flying on wheels, floats or skis in remote areas, to flying in and out of the largest and most modern airports in the world…it is one of the most versatile and affordable aircraft to be found anywhere. ........ The Bushmaster 300 .... truly an airplane for all seasons and reasons.
