Interior & Exterior

Interior Notes
Step inside this Citabria and you're immediately reminded what flying is supposed to feel like - simple, connected, and authentic. Featuring a tandem seating configuration, with the pilot typically flying from the front seat and a passenger seated directly behind. Both positions offer excellent visibility thanks to the high wing and generous side windows, while that signature overhead glazing/bubble canopy section brings in even more light and openness.
Exterior Notes
Finished in a striking blue-and-white scheme, this Citabria radiates personality before it even leaves the ground. It is wonderfully maintained and shows just as nicely in person as it does in photos
