Potentially one of the nicest Beavers in the World, definitely the nicest one on the market. No two DHC-2 Beaver rebuilds are the same, N654DF began with a low-time airframe (5,000 hrs) but was completely rebuilt from from the ground up and included significant rebuild upgrades that extend much further beyond cosmetics, STC upgrades, and maintenance/AD compliance. No stone has been left unturn and it shows. Just over 5,000 hrs TT since new and 125 hours since "complete rebuild", upgraded avionics suite in 2024 includes 3x Garmin 275's, Garmin GTN 750 Nxi, Garmin 345R adsb in out, Garmin 355 WAAS GPS/Com #2. The list goes on, all logs scanned and available for electronic review. Located in the Midwest, freshwater operation only, no damage since rebuild, must see firsthand to appreciate.
