History & Maintenance
This Comanche underwent a complete stem-to-stern restoration by a very talented Boeing technical representative, completed the year I purchased it (2012). Since then, the only issues I've had were minor items overlooked during annual inspections or caused by improper maintenance from mechanics unfamiliar with Comanches.
