About the Musketeer

The Beechcraft A23A Musketeer Custom III is an American single-engine, low-wing fixed-wing aircraft built for light utility and personal transport. Accommodating a crew of one alongside passengers, it features a conventional cabin layout powered by a single horizontally opposed piston engine and serves as a stable mount for private owners and training organizations.

Produced across a two-decade span, the Musketeer family encompassed several variants ranging from basic trainers to retractable-gear models and military versions. Thousands of examples were manufactured during its production run, and the type certificate is held by Hawker Beechcraft.
