2 time Oshkosh Award Winning “Vegas Viper” - as seen on the cover of AOPA This is without a doubt the finest, most updated and customized ( over 30 STC’s) Piper Comanche 250 in existence! Absolutely no expense was spared in the Spinner to Tail makeover.
The refurbish was done meticulously and exacting to create the Vegas Viper with safety, reliability, speed and comfort in mind. An incredible cross country IFR machine: Enjoy 167 kts true airspeed burning 11.5 gal/hr in the most luxurious and comfortable cabin you can possibly imagine.
Since 2005 this aircraft has been methodically updated, every single system (airframe, engine, firewall, avionics etc) has been replaced to create the best single engine airplane in the world! The second award (4 years after winning its first award for “best customized”) earned at Airventure was for \"best continually maintained”.
I have never had to cancel a flight for mechanical reasons, this airplane is thoroughly inspected after every flight by our in-house mechanic. Words and pictures alone cannot accurately describe how magnificent this airplane truly is. Yet, it is not just a “show plane”.
This special one-of-a-kind airplane is fast, quiet, smooth with a tremendous range! The records are meticulous since coming out of the factory (On-line and leather-bound log books through PlaneLogix) and there is far more money into the plane than I am asking - it is priced for a quick sale and the most discriminating buyer will not be disappointed!
