1966 Piper Cherokee 235

Detailed Description

This hangared 1966 Cherokee 235B pairs the legendary reliability of a Lycoming O-540 with a complete, modern Garmin digital flight deck (no vacuum pumps, no outdated wiring headaches).

No damage history, well maintained and ready to fly home today. I have truly loved every hour in this airplane and hope to hand over the logs to an owner who will treat and enjoy this airplane just as well as I have.
