Safety record in brief:1 NTSB accident (substantial damage, Apr 2016)29 ADs may apply
We never show street addresses, even though they appear in the public FAA file. Individual owners are shown by city and state only.
Total time and engine hours aren't public. They appear here once the owner adds logbooks.
Individual owners are shown by city and state only.
