Interior & Exterior

Interior Notes: The cabin is clean, bright, and comfortable with a classic Beechcraft layout. The tan and beige color scheme gives the interior a warm, inviting feel. The front seats are protected with covers, and the underlying cushions appear in good condition. Side panels and trim pieces are intact and present well. The rear bench seat offers plenty of space, with normal cosmetic wear on one seatback. Large windows provide excellent visibility and ample natural light in the cabin. The headliner and flooring are serviceable and give the interior a tidy, well-kept appearance overall.

Exterior Notes: The aircraft features a classic cream-and-red Beechcraft paint scheme that shows well and provides excellent ramp appeal. The colors retain a good shine in sunlight, and the airframe is clean and straight throughout. Control surfaces, wingtips, and exterior skin panels are smooth with no visible dents or damage noted. The bold metallic red wheel pants and wingtips add a distinctive touch, tying in nicely with the red fuselage striping and N-numbers. Windows are clear and offer great visibility from the cabin. The aircraft sits on clean landing gear with matching red gear legs and hubcaps, giving the aircraft a cohesive, eye-catching overall appearance.
