1981 Piper Turbo Arrow IVSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft • Chatham, NJ, USA

This 1981 Piper Turbo Arrow IV, registered as N871MS, is a well-equipped four-seat single with a total airframe time of just 2,172 hours. The seller, who describes it as the "best Turbo Arrow IV in the Market," emphasizes the aircraft's reliable performance, noting its ability to cruise at over 160 knots at 10,000 feet thanks to the turbocharger. Key maintenance highlights include no gear-up landing, no prop strike, no corrosion, and a history of being hangared. The airframe, in original paint with what is described as great condition, received new brakes in 2025.

The engine has 701 hours since overhaul and has been treated to GAMI...
