Detailed Description
1961 Model 182D (N8879X)
Overview: This meticulously maintained 1961 Model 182D airplane is a testament to timeless aviation engineering. Powered by a formidable 230 horsepower engine with a useful load of half a ton, it promises reliability and comfort for any discerning pilot. I have personally flown this aircraft for over 25 hours of cross-country flight time in the last 2 months and I am still currently adding hours to the plane weekly. It has been a joy to fly, and parting with it is a difficult decision. However, due to monetary reasons my mission has changed and I must let it go. For the right buyer, my loss will be a valuable find. I am willing to deliver the plane anywhere in the US and could even give the new buyer their high-performance endorsement and training if needed. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions. Sam 318-208-2895
