1979 PIPER TURBO DAKOTA
Frequently-flown (120+ hrs/year) by commercial & military pilots in a professionally-run partnership using detailed aircraft Standard Operating Procedures, Checklists, and Checkout documents (included with purchase). Stable and capable turbocharged IFR platform with WAAS GPS. Well-upgraded engine with automatic wastegate, intercooler, GAMInjectors, graphic engine monitor, and smooth-running 3-blade propeller.
