Description
This is Butterscotch. She looks like a diner dessert and she will ruin you for every beat-up 172 you’ve ever rented.
1940+ hours (still flying). Since new. Top overhaul and prop. Most airplanes this old have been rode hard, put away wet, and used as a floating classroom. This one was hangared like somebody actually liked her. No damage history. Complete logs. Still flying. Still cheap.
She’s a ’63 with an O-300 that drinks like a nun and an interior that tells the truth. Paint’s a six. Cabin’s a three. New carpet, old soul. We didn’t hide it under Instagram filters. You want pretty, buy a Cirrus and a second mortgage.
KOLM. I’ll fly her to your ramp and let you decide if you have the spine to own something this clean.
Don’t waste both our time if you’re shopping a project. This one’s already an airplane.
