Remarks
The aircraft moved with me from Texas to South Africa to open a Safari lodge in 2018 (crated and shipped by Van Bortel)
I'm selling to purchase a light sport bush plane.
Any serious buyer is welcome to stay free of charge at my lodge while conducting a pre buy inspection. Your test flight will be conducted over the iconic landscape of the Kruger National Park and I can guarantee the experience of a lifetime.
I have professionals that will facilitate the crating and shipping of plane to the US or any other country.
