I earned my private pilot certificate in this airplane and planned to use it for trips to skydiving drop zones. My plans have changed and I'm not flying it as much as it deserves, so it's time for it to go to someone who will.

Serious inquiries only, please. Happy to answer questions about the airplane and its history.
