New Addition to the Fleet
Introducing the latest addition to our fleet. Having served our country in the Civil Air Patrol, N9506X is now ready to serve our customers. This Skylane is prime for instrument training or a cross-country trip. The GTN 650 touchscreen GPS is a breeze for setting up flight plans and approaches. The GTX 345 ADS-B In/out transponder and FlightStream 210 allow Bluetooth connections to iPad, tablet, or mobile devices to sync plans, view traffic and get weather.
