    Description
    This very well-updated PA-23-250 Turbo Aztec has a great new panel, very nice interior, good paint, de-ice equipment, and built-in oxygen. We bought it in 2019, upgraded it, and it has served us wonderfully in our charitable disaster relief and humanitarian work. Now that our volunteer group has received donations for a Chieftain and a Caravan (So far... More donations welcome!), we are selling this to make room. Ready for your year-round COVID-free travel plans. Cruise about 175kts on 32gph, and faster up at oxygen altitudes. Scanned logs and more pictures available; please inquire.
