This aircraft represents a unique opportunity to acquire a remarkable piece of aviation history, with a story that resonates deeply. Previous Owner’s Story: N5719L was owned by a passionate aviator whose life took an unexpected turn. In 1989, just one day after applying a fresh coat of wax to the aircraft, he was involved in a tragic motorcycle accident that left him in a comatose state.

The wax, applied just before the incident, remained until it was carefully removed in 2025, preserving the aircraft’s aesthetic integrity. Maintenance and Condition: This Grumman Yankee has been cared for rigorously, with no expense spared. The previous owner maintained a detailed 3-inch thick binder of maintenance records, which is included with the sale.
