Remarks

Regularly flown, well-maintained, always in the dry states. I've owned this for two years; and it's literally taken me everywhere - backpacking adventures, soaring through Class B, lunch at the coast, trips to visit my sister, and regular $100 hamburger trips. I thought my kid would fly with me, but she doesn't, and now it's time to pay for college. Literally cried when I made the decision to sell.
