1977 Piper Chieftain PA 31-350, STC configured for skydiving with a capacity for 13 jumpers plus a pilot. This aircraft boasts an exceptionally fast climb to altitude, allowing for an increased number of loads per hour, enhancing operational efficiency. It's the perfect investment to bridge the gap between smaller aircraft like the 182 and larger ones such as the Caravan or Twin Otter, offering a balanced blend of capacity and cost-effectiveness. The aircraft comes fully equipped with the necessary instruments for both the pilot and co-pilot. In a move to reduce maintenance needs and increase jumper capacity, all de-ice boots on wings and props have been removed. Looks Great, Runs Strong! Great Opportunity! Trades of aircraft, auto, RV, and marine welcome! Owner Motivated to sell off a couple of aircraft so taking all offers!
