Fairchild Fairchild 24 Aircraft under $100,000
Under $100k for a piston single is the value-entry price band — typically older airframes (1960s-80s), mid-life or run-out engines, original or basic avionics with retrofit ADS-B Out compliance. These are entry-budget trainers and touring singles. Budget realistically for engine work, ADS-B Out compliance if not yet installed, panel upgrades and corrosion-area inspection.
The Fairchild 24 is a handsome, high-wing cabin classic from the 1930s and 40s — a comfortable vintage tourer built with both Jacobs radial and Ranger inline engines. Roomy, characterful and well-regarded among classic-aircraft enthusiasts, it offers genuine golden-age charm with usable cabin comfort.
