In the July/August issue the Cessna Owners Association magazine called this aircraft the world's best TR182!  With the cover photo, eight other photos and a nine page write-up the magazine followed the immaculate restoration and modernization process.  The total cost to the owner to create this masterpiece was $397,350!

 

You can have it for half that!

 

The aircraft is not for your bargain basement shopper looking for cheap transportation.  It is the finest example of a TR182 in existence, lovingly restored to better than factory-new condition.  This aircraft will provide unparalled comfort and reliability and safety to its proud new owner.  You must see this aircraft in person to appreciate it!
