Seller reportedDescription
The 1965 Beechcraft Musketeer II A23 is a classic single-engine, low-wing aircraft celebrated for its reliability and easy handling. This particular model features a Continental IO-346A fuel-injected engine, delivering smooth and responsive performance for both training and recreational flights. With approximately 4,250 hours on the airframe and 500 hours on the engine since its major overhaul, it stands ready for many more journeys ahead. Notably, the nose tire and tube were replaced last July, and one main tire and tube have been recently replaced-along with the landing gear pucks-ensuring safe and comfortable landings. All glass is clear and in good condition, offering optimal visibility for pilots and passengers alike. Upgraded avionics bring modern capability to this vintage airframe: it's equipped with a Garmin GNC 355 GPS/COMM, GNC 255A NAV/COMM, dual G5 units for ADI and HSI functionality, a GMA 345 audio panel, a Uavionix tail beacon, iPad mini in dash mount, and all external LED lights. The spacious cabin comfortably seats four and offers excellent visibility plus a gentle ride, with additional front and rear seats included. All logbooks are available since new, providing a complete maintenance and history record. For added convenience, the DC power outlets in the center console have been upgraded to USB-A, making it easy to charge devices during flight. A custom Bruce's cover, personalized with the aircraft's tail number, is also included with purchase, offering reliable protection and peace of mind for your investment. These features make the Musketeer II A23 a preferred choice among pilots seeking dependable, enjoyable, and technologically enhanced flight experiences.
