It’s time to let the gem go. Ive been flying it for the past three years and we simply don’t fly it enough. It has served my family well including trips to Oshkosh and Sun n Fun. This airplane is an absolute UNIT. Ive uploaded the last few years of annuals to show that it’s actually maintained and not just pencil whipped. It’s got all the normal nice airplane stuff like complete logs and always hangared. It had a right main gear collapse in 1983 and is documented in the logs. I would say the airplane shows at about a 7.5 inside and out. The paint is still shiny but is chipping in places that receive the rain drops at 200kts. Aircraft is white with navy blue and silver stripes, the interior is a light grey. Aircraft is based at Stennis KHSA. We are asking 199k.
Total Time: 4557
Left Engine: 1453 SFRM in 1999. 5 of the cylinders have been changed out in the last two annuals, 1400 hours on a set of cylinders was a pretty good run.
Right Engine: 155.8 hours Since NEW in 2020.
Both Props were overhauled with the engines and have 155.8 hours since overhaul in 2020.
Annual is Due September 2023.
Empty Weight is 3680lbs, don’t laugh, she’s self conscious about it. Useful load is 1620lbs.
Because its a 77 model and a E55 it comes from the factory with all the stuff you want in a Baron including shoulder harnesses in all 6 seats, zinc chromated airframe for corrosion resistance, 166 gal fuel tanks and interconnected fuel tanks for easy fuel management, and cable operated cowl flaps because if you’ve replaced an electric one, you know. This aircraft is also equipped with de-ice boots that aren’t patched to hell. There is no windshield deice and the props are electric. It’s got LED landing, taxi, and wingtip nav and strobe lights.
The panel is cutting edge for about 15 years ago standards.
