    Description
    PIPER AEROSTAR SUPERSTAR 700

240+KTAS in pressurised comfort in the Flight Levels. 

Most aftermarket Superstar factory options courtesy of Machen Inc. including 5.5PSI cabin pressurisation and auxiliary fuel tank! Low time with excellent engine and prop time remaining. Normal (private) Category. This example has always been operated privately and I'm only the fourth owner. Always hangared and meticulously maintained. It's flying beautifully.

Dual GARMIN GTNs with updated remote audio panel and six pin plus GA audio outlets, GARMIN radar on GTN display, ADSB, Traffic Collision and Avoidance Display on GTN display and USB chargers. Six seats including swivel seat and pull-out table in the middle row. (I usually have the middle row removed.)

I originally purchased this Aerostar for a specific 700nm mission. It's been perfect for that. This is a reluctant sale because that mission has gone. Purchasing a later model aircraft with similar capability will cost well in excess of $1M! This terrific Aerostar is priced to sell and represents amazing value.

Aerostars are fantastic to fly. Owners are a supportive community. Aerostar Corp. and Machen Inc. are active companies with amazing knowledge and support if required. They are only a phone call or email away - including the CEO! You won't get that with any other manufacturer.
