1965 Piper Robertson Twin Comanche N7709Y - $119,000

Well Equipped - No Damage - Absolutely Immaculate PA30

Summary

N7709Y is a beautifully maintained 1965 PA30 Robertson STOL Twin Comanche that is absolutely stunning. This airplane is what we refer to as a "loved" TwinCo that has been with the same owner for many years. The airplane has had impeccable maintenance with a blank checkbook, always receiving anything it needed to keep it in exceptional condition. In the course of our work as buyers representatives, Nick and I see a lot of airplanes but very few like N7709Y and we are honored to be able to represent it to our buyers.
