Description
1979 Cessna 340A - N377JS ' RAM VI ' FIKI ' Updated Paint Interior N377JS is a well-maintained and highly capable Cessna 340A configured for serious cross-country and all-weather flying. This aircraft has been operated in a business aviation role and is being offered for sale due to a change in mission, as the owner is now flying under Part 135 operations and no longer requires a personal twin. Maintenance has been a priority throughout ownership. The aircraft has undergone extensive annual inspections at Air Impressions, a highly regarded Twin Cessna specialist known for their expertise and attention to detail. This level of care is reflected in the aircraft's overall condition and continued operational reliability.
