Today’s Top Pick is a 1963 Piper PA-24-250 Comanche.

Take your mind back to the mid-1950s when Piper executives were working on their answer to rival Beechcraft’s Bonanza, a slick, all-metal jewel in a sea of kite-like, high-wing, rag-and-tube aircraft that characterized general aviation at the time.

The resulting Piper PA-24 Comanche was similarly modern, even futuristic. Generally lower list prices for the Piper helped drive brisk sales. Pilots searching the used market today can expect similar value opportunities in the used-aircraft market.

Unlike the Bonanza, which has remained on the market even through difficult times for the aviation industry, the Comanche’s retail run was cut short by a flood that wrecked the company’s Lock Haven, Pennsylvania, factory in 1972. The resulting damage to tooling led to the abrupt end of Comanche production. The relatively high cost of assembling the PA-24 also made it easier for Piper to let the old bird go.

This 1963 Piper Comanche has 2,018 hours on the airframe, 102 hours since overhaul on its Lycoming 0-540 engine, and 5.79 hours since overhaul on its propeller. The aircraft is equipped with chrome cylinders.

The IFR panel includes King KX 170 and KX 175 nav/comm radios, Narco At150 transponder, Sky Beacon for ADS-B Out, Sky Sensor ADS-B In, S-TEC autopilot, King KMA 20 audio panel, Skycom 200E intercom, and Alcor EGT instrument.

Pilots who are looking for a fast, handsome, high-performance retractable single and agree that age is just a number should consider this 1963 Piper PA-24-250 Comanche, which is available for $100,000 on AircraftForSale.

Today’s Top Pick is a 2022 Diamond DA50.

Many pilots have seen the DA50 RG over the last two years or so. Those among us who are lucky have seen one up close, possibly at an airshow or trade gathering, sat in the cockpit and imagined ourselves at the controls on our way to a favorite destination.

This aircraft presents an opportunity to acquire a DA50 with low time instead of signing onto a long waiting list to buy one new from the factory.

Austria-based Diamond’s aircraft have sparked great interest in the U.S. for years because of their novel designs, composite structures, and efficient, economical jet-A fueled power plants that start with the press of a button instead of the lever gymnastics to which many of us are accustomed. One look at a DA50, or a skim of its POH, confirms that it is a modern airplane, not one designed during the middle of the last century.

This Diamond DA50 RG has 392 hours on the airframe, its 300 hp Continental CD-300 turbocharged, FADEC controlled diesel engine, and MT three-blade propeller. The aircraft is equipped with air conditioning, a TKS de-icing system and supplemental oxygen system.

The IFR panel features Garmin G1000 NXi avionics with dual GDU 105 10-inch displays for PFD and MFD, a Garmin GEA 71B airframe/engine interface, dual Garmin GIA 64W GPS/nav/comms with glidescope and localizer indicators, a GMA 1360 audio panel, GRS 79 AHRS, GDC 72 digital air data computer, GMU 44 magnetometer, GTX 345R transponder with ADS-B In and Out, GFC 700 autopilot, digital standby attitude module, Garmin Flight Stream 510, synthetic vision, WX 500 Stormscope, Avidyne TAS 605A traffic advisory system, GSR 56 Iridium satellite datalink, and Honeywell KN 63 DME.

Pilots looking for an advanced, fast, and efficient traveling aircraft that features familiar, easy-to-use automotive-style systems, should consider this 2022 Diamond DA50 RG which is available on AircraftForSale.

Today’s Top Pick is a 1973 Cessna T310Q.

Decades ago I spotted a Cessna 310 POH at a used-book sale and had to have it. I picked up a hardcover copy of Chuck Yeager’s autobiography at the same sale and learned a lot about flying from both books.

While I will never approach Yeager’s rarified level of pilotage, I may yet manage to own a 310 someday. Right now, I want this one.

The 310 has been a favorite of mine since childhood when I became aware of airplanes flying over our suburban New Jersey home. Wingtip-mounted main tanks made this light twin easy to spot and added to an already gorgeous design. My father called it an example of “Buck Rogers styling.” He said the same about the mid-1960s Chevrolet Corvette Stingrays that I coveted.

It is natural for pilots to be attracted by the promise of speed. This particular 310, which has undergone a Riley Turbostream conversion, is more prepared than most light piston twins to keep the promise.

Aviation innovator Jack Riley was famous for conversions that coaxed truly impressive performance from Cessnas and other makes. The 310 Turbostream swapped the aircraft’s original Continental engines for larger, turbocharged, intercooled, counter-rotating Lycoming 540s generating 350 hp each.

With that much power, legend has it, the Turbostream can reach 260 ktas, or about 300 mph. How I would love to give that a try.

Not long ago I read about the aircraft for sale here in an article on the Cessna Owner Organization website. I thought about how airplanes like this seem to never show up on the used market but now here it is for sale. It is hard to resist.

This 1973 Cessna T310Q has 4,400 hours on the airframe, 415 hours since overhaul on each of its 350 hp Lycoming TIO-540-N2BD engines, and 428 hours since overhaul on its Hartzell heated three-blade propellers.

The IFR panel includes a garmin GTN 750 GPS/nav/comm, Bendix King KX 165 nav/comm, dual Garmin G5s, dual Garmin GI 275 engine instruments, Garmin GTX 345 transponder with ADS-B In and Out, and Garmin GMA 345 audio panel, Bendix 82 color radar, and Cessna 400A autopilot with yaw damper.

Pilots looking for a sleek, roomy light twin with hot-rod performance and cross-country practicality should consider this 1973 Cessna T310Q, which is available for $295,000 on AircraftForSale.

Today’s Top Pick is a 1957 Beechcraft E18S.

The 1963 comedy adventure film It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World is packed with character actors such as Mickey Rooney, Ethel Merman, Jim Backus, and Phil Silvers. And let’s not forget the Beechcraft Model 18 that steals the show by flying cleanly through a billboard.

Like the actors, the “Twin Beech” aircraft has been showing up on screens large and small since at least the middle of the last century. Part of the reason, I suspect, is because it also plays a range of roles very well.

In real life the aircraft was produced from 1937-69, but even today it looks wonderful if not quite modern (those big round engines date the old bird).

Thousands were built and many are still flying. Sure, they turn up at vintage fly-ins and in the collections of well-heeled aircraft enthusiasts. But pilots also continue to use them as personal mounts because they remain effective for certain passenger, cargo, and utility missions.

In their heyday these airplanes, often in their polished aluminum glory, were popular and prestigious executive transports. If you want to carry from six to 11 passengers today while enjoying a mechanical, highly interactive version of pilotage, this Model 18 could be your next hangar occupant. 

This 1957 Twin Beech has 9,615 hours on the airframe, 327 hours since overhaul on the 450 hp Pratt & Whitney R-985 radial engine on the left side and 492 hours since overhaul on the right. The aircraft has eight seats and was painted in 2023.

The IFR panel includes a Garmin GNS 530 GPS/nav/comm, a King KX 155 nav/comm, a transponder with ADS-B and an intercom along with a full complement of traditional analog engine and flight instruments.

Pilots who have an affection for vintage iron and often carry loads that are slightly beyond the capacity of typical light twins should take a look at this 1957 Beechcraft E18S, which is available for $199,000 on AircraftForSale.

Today’s Top Pick is a 2005 Cirrus SR22 G2.

During the 1970s, when Queen drummer Roger Taylor sang about “the machine of a dream, such a clean machine,” he was referring to a car. Today a whole lot of pilots might hum the same tune while thinking about the Cirrus SR22.

A tour de force of design, performance, and innovation, the Cirrus is among the most popular general aviation aircraft of all time because it has what pilots want—cross-country speed, great looks, and a parachute that can save the day in an emergency.

Now that the SR22 has been on the market for more than 20 years, there are many used examples available for a wide range of prices depending on their age and equipment. The earliest first- and second-generation models often come up for sale at prices similar to those of other fast piston singles that often are decades older.

The 2005 G2 example for sale here is equipped with the Avidyne primary flight and multifunction displays typical for that generation of SR22. Later versions received more advanced and increasingly integrated Garmin avionics, however, a pilot would be fortunate to find anything close to this aircraft’s Avidyne panel in other used piston singles.

This aircraft represents a significant value for pilots who like the SR22’s modern design but are not ready to spend up to $1 million or more for a newer model. 

This 2005 SR22 has 3,136 hours on the airframe and 220 hours since overhaul on its 310 hp Continental IO-550 engine. The aircraft is equipped with a TKS deicing system, and its parachute was recently repacked, so the next owner will have about 10 years before the next repack is due.

The IFR panel features an Avidyne Entegra PFD and Avidyne EX5000 MFD, dual Garmin GNS 430 GPS/nav/comms, one with WAAS, PMA 8000 audio panel,  transponder with ADS-B Out, L-3 Skywatch Active Traffic system, WX 500 Stormscope, Emax engine monitor, Cmax electronic charts, and S-TEC 55 autopilot.

Pilots looking for the advanced design, efficiency, and performance of a Cirrus SR22 at a price point more in keeping with a Cessna 210 Centurion or an older Beechcraft Bonanza should consider this 2005 Cirrus SR22 G2, which is available for $349,000 on AircraftForSale.

Today’s Top Pick is a 2024 Cessna T206H.

Ever since its arrival in the mid-1960s, the Cessna 206 has been desirable for its versatility.

The aircraft is known for its double cargo doors, designed to allow the loading of a 55-gallon drum and other heavy, awkward items, but that big cabin has always been an inviting place for passengers as well. Over time this utility design has evolved to become an all-around personal aircraft capable of moving furniture to a new home or transporting your family on a luxury vacation.

If the easiest route—or possibly the only route—to your next destination includes a backcountry turf strip, the T206H is the right airplane for the job. It also fits right in when rolling up to a posh FBO serving high-end resorts.

With a  maximum takeoff weight of 3,600 pounds, the T206H can lift more people and cargo than most piston singles while still providing solid cross-country cruising speed. While pilots will appreciate this aircraft’s short-field capability and easy handling, passengers will remember its comfortable seats, legroom, and factory air conditioning.

When they say the airplane is just like an SUV, they mean it as a compliment.  

This 2024 Cessna 206 is close to brand-new, having logged just 50 hours. The aircraft is equipped with a 310 hp Textron Lycoming TIO-540-AJ1A engine and a heated three-blade McCauley propeller.

The IFR panel features the Garmin G1000 NXi avionics suite with ADS-B In and Out, wireless database and flight plan loading, Garmin Electronic Stability Protection, integrated VFR sectional charts, IFR high and low charts with Night Mode, vertical situation display, and selectable visual approaches.

Pilots looking for a roomy, powerful and capable late-model load carrier that is ideal for family and business travel should consider this 2024 Cessna T206H, which is available for $1.15 million on AircraftForSale.

Today’s Top Pick is a 1978 Piper PA-32-300 Lance.

Over many years I developed an affection toward the T-tail Pipers of the late 1970s. They remind me of how strong the general aviation market was at the time and the lengths to which manufacturers would go to keep their lineups fresh  and grab a few more sales. Piper also wanted to keep up with the latest trends, which included T-tails on propeller-driven aircraft.

Early in the decade, Beechcraft had introduced its King Air 200 turboprop, which sported the T-tail that still characterizes current King Air models. At the time, Beechcraft said mounting the horizontal stabilizer up high kept it clear of the wing’s wake, which improved control. Piper went for the same effect with its four-seat Arrow, six-seat Lance and the new two-seat Tomahawk trainer. Skeptics suggested the new tail was more of a marketing move, but that mattered little back in the day. The airplanes looked rakish and people bought them.

In the modern era these older designs offer practicality, value and a head-turning aesthetics. The Lance’s roomy cabin and large side door for passengers and cargo give it the feel of a personal airliner scaled to carry your family with space to spare.

This 1978 Lance has 2,981 hours on the airframe, 170 hours since overhaul on its 300 hp Lycoming IO-540 engine, and 591 hours since new on its three-blade Hartzell propeller.

The IFR panel includes a Garmin GPS 175, King KI 209 CDI, KI 207 CDI, King KX 175 nav/coms, a Garmin GTX 327 transponder, GDL 82, PS Engineering PMA7000B audio panel, a JPI engine analyzer, Century autopilot, and a DME.

Pilots who need the added comfort and flexibility of a six-seat aircraft and appreciate a dash of 1970s styling should consider this T-tail Piper PA-32RT-300 Lance, which is available for $145,000 on AircraftForSale.

Today’s Top Pick is a 1978 Cessna 172N Skyhawk.

Many pilots have at least considered training for a seaplane rating and possibly finding the ideal aircraft for our intended missions, from fishing trips to family excursions on remote rivers and lakes. While the fantasy version of this daydream probably involves a deHavilland Beaver or turbine Otter, a Cessna 172 like this one seems like a more practical approach.

The aircraft for sale here is equipped with Baumann 2550 floats, which are known for light weight. Its engine was upgraded to 180 hp from the original 150 and would still be familiar and relatively easy to handle for any pilot who has flown or trained in 172s.

I know of several out-of-the-way places I would like to visit in an airplane like this. I am adding the seaplane rating to my to-do list for 2025.

This 172N has 6,123 hours on the airframe and 1,276 since overhaul on its 180 hp Lycoming O-360 engine. The engine upgrade was part of the Penn Yan conversion and includes a powerflow exhaust. The VFR panel features a standard six pack of gauges, a Garmin GNC 250XL GPS and a Bendix-King KX 155 nav/com radio.

Pilots who want a straightforward, utilitarian floatplane to expand their flying adventures to waterways should take a look at this 1978 Cessna 172N Skyhawk, which is available for $132,000 on AircraftForSale.

Today’s Top Pick is a 1947 Aeronca 7BCM.

I have always preferred the Aeronca Champ over its more-famous rival, the Piper J-3 Cub, because as a solo pilot you sit in the front seat instead of the rear, and as a result can actually see where you are going.

This is particularly important on the ground, where taildraggers tend to be the most challenging. I can see over the Champ’s nicely tapered nose but no such luck with the Piper.

Of course, I would never wave off either of the classic machines, especially in their military liaison versions—like this Aeronca, also known as an L-16A—which have extended greenhouses intended for observers in the back seat. Nowadays those airy glass enclosures give passengers a near-panoramic view and make the vintage-aircraft experience far more palatable for first-timers.

Early taildraggers like this Aeronca are a joy to fly on short hops for breakfast, lunch, or fly-ins at local airports. Packing one up for an overnight trip is also a fun way to spend a weekend, whether you plan to camp under the stars or retire to a cozy bed-and-breakfast.

This Aeronca 7BCM has 5,894 hours on the airframe and 329 hours since overhaul on its Continental C85 engine.

While the Aeronca is a basic, fairly bare-bones aircraft, it does have certain features that enhance its effectiveness in the backcountry, including a 7-gallon fuel tank in its wing in addition to the 15-gallon main tank, a Brackett air filter, tinted visor, front and rear side windows that open,  quick-release door hinge, hand brake, no-bounce landing gear, Aero-Classic 850×6 main tires, new exhaust, and air vents.

The VFR panel includes a digital comm radio, turn coordinator, tachometer, airspeed indicator, altimeter, oil temperature and pressure gauges, fuel gauge, and compass—everything you need.

Pilots looking for a back-to-basics tailwheel airplane with vintage appeal and extra visibility that will impress passengers should consider this 1947 Aeronca 7BCM, which is available for $39,000 on AircraftForSale.

Today’s Top Pick is a 1975 Ted Smith Aerostar 601P.

For a rare airplane, the Ted Smith Aerostar is pretty well known among pilots and even in popular culture thanks to a notable supporting role in 2017’s hit film American Made, which stars Tom Cruise as a sketchy pilot hauling questionable cargo.

Long before the film, though, my planespotting schoolmates and I could identify Aerostars that flew over the school playground during recess. Their swept tail surfaces and small wings, seemingly set so far aft on the fuselage, gave them away.

The rubber-band-powered model airplanes we flew after school gained speed when we slid their wings back, and the same held true for the Aerostar, which set speed records in its heyday. This Aerostar has upgrades from Machen, a company that specialized in performance-enhancing modifications for the type. Auxiliary fuel gives a significant range boost. 

This 1975 Aerostar has 3,955 hours on the airframe, 1,397 hours since overhaul on the left Lycoming IO-540 engine and 1,468 on the right. The aircraft is equipped with GAMI injectors, auxiliary fuel, spoilers, heavy-duty Cleveland wheels and brakes, and Machen vortex generators and exhaust.

The panel includes a garmin GNS 430 GPS/nav/comm, Garmin SL 30 nav/comm, GTX 330 transponder, Garmin MX 20 MFD with charts, GDL 69 with SiriusXM weather, PS Engineering PMA 8000SR audio panel, Bendix-King radar altimeter, Bendix HSD 860 HSI Compass system, WX500 Stormscope, S-TEC 55X autopilot, and JPI 760 engine monitor.

Additional equipment includes air conditioning, oxygen system, deicing boots with windshield hot plate, and 44-gallon auxiliary fuel tank. This Aerostar has a useful load of 1,745 pounds.

Pilots looking for a light twin with extraordinary speed and impressive range for serious cross-country travel should consider this 1975 Ted Smith Aerostar, which is available for $210,000 on AircraftForSale.
