Beautiful well-maintained Piper Comanche 260. One of the cleanest Comanche airframes out there available today. Three owners since new! NKDH/Complete logs. Engine is high time but runs strong. Good compression and borescope inspections. Flown over 100 hours in the last seven months. New starter, overhauled alternator, overhauled mags, and a new mechanical fuel pump are just some of the recent maintenance in the last six months.

About the Piper Comanche
The Piper Comanche (PA-24) is a classic, fast, retractable-gear single — produced 1957-1972 with 180, 250, 260 and 400 hp variants on the same low-wing airframe. The 260 hp Comanche cruises near 160 knots; the rare 400 hp Comanche is one of the fastest piston singles of its era. The Comanche has a devoted owner community and is regarded as one of the best-handling singles of its generation.
