2004 Van's Aircraft RV8Experimental Aircraft • Fair Oaks Ranch, TX, USA

This 2004 Vans RV-8, offered at $145,000 by its original builder, represents a meticulously constructed cross-country machine with just 51 hours on the engine. Built over six years by a retired fighter pilot with 32 years of high-performance aircraft experience, the airframe has been hangared for the past 20 years after initial certification and testing, due to the owner's competing business interests. The seller reports a no-damage history (NDH) and the aircraft is located in Boerne, TX, with contact through broker Rob Heckel in Fair Oaks Ranch, TX.

The RV-8 is equipped for full IFR operations, featuring the best instrumentation available...
