This is a rare opportunity to own a very late model 1969 Piper PA-30 C Twin Comanche (S/N: 30-1917) featuring counter-rotating props, very low airframe hours, and J.L. Osborn Tip Tanks. A true cross-country (and cross-ocean!) aircraft with complete logs, AD compliance, and extensive documentation.
Performance & Efficiency Combined
The PA-30 is known for its aerodynamic design and efficient cruising-and this particular aircraft takes it even further with almost every Knots2U speed mod available. It's a "going places" machine, having already crossed the Atlantic 4 times without ever needing to dip into the main tanks-thanks to the generous fuel configuration
