1963 Piper Comanche PA-24-250 For Sale

$60,000 obo (reduced as the owner needs to make a sale)

I am assisting the owner in selling this beautiful Comanche 250.  I have flown it about 100 hours in the last year.  I honestly think that the Comanche is the perfect blend of performance and economy in a certified aircraft.  It is a great traveler with speed for cross-country trips and 90 gallons of fuel for long legs.   You can haul four people and baggage.

This Comanche is ready to fly anywhere.  I am based in Northeastern Arizona and I have flown it to UT many times, WA, NM, TX and many shorter trips.
