55 BARON

Used

N4797M is going in Mon 3/13/23 for completion of her Annual at George Baker Aviation in New Smyrna (KEVB). 97M is an extremely sound, strong, and clean example of the B-55. She was owned from 1982 until 2022 by a friend here in Melbourne (only her second owner) who kept her hangared and maintained meticulous records of her maintenance and mods until he decided last spring to retire from flying. I was fortunate enough to pick her up then as a MEL time-builder and possible future restoration project. Having achieved my MEL time goals, and with my wife having now decided to join me in retirement, the restoration project is no longer in the cards for me and I must reluctantly part with a fine airplane. Feel free to contact me with questions or to arrange an inspection during or after her annual.
