In a previous article, "onsitewelding" said:
been told that the piper aztec is a fairly easy twin to learn to fly, not
too much of a maintenance hog and is a good solid aircraft. Not to mention
that some of the older ones are not that expensive to buy.


Our local FBO has had an Aztec for sale for over a year. They used to use
it for freight dogging and flight training. I think they're getting rid
of this one because the bottom fell out of the frieght dog market since
the banks don't have to return checks to the clearing centers overnight
any more.

I'm not sure if the reason it's taking so long to sell is a lack of buyers
or a lack of the ability of prospective buyers to get insurance.

The owner of the FBO died in a plane crash (in a Navaho) a few weeks ago,
and his widow hated everything to do with the business, so you might want
to call them soon before the widow dumps the whole inventory on some
asshole broker who won't be honest about the plane's background.
