IFRDescription
Hiller Aviation Brokerage & Consulting is pleased to offer N29186, a well-upgraded 1968 Cessna U206C with a HUGE useful load featuring Garmin G3X glass panel and GFC-500 autopilot. The panel says 2025, the interior says 1968. Garmin turned the cockpit into the future... and the interior politely declined to participate. The result is modern glass flying a full-blown retro lounge. Buy it for the performance, keep it for the stories, and redo the interior once your passengers begin negotiating seating arrangements.
