Description

This isn’t your average Cessna 150 - this is “The Buck Fiddy”. Lovingly rebuilt and upgraded with top-of-the-line systems, this aircraft is the definition of “turnkey.” Every system has been reimagined, rewired, or replaced with modern, high-end components. It’s equipped with a full Garmin G3X suite, Sportsman STOL and Peterson Mogas STCs, a brand-new leather interior, fresh retro paint, and a complete mechanical refresh from prop to tail. Whether you’re looking for a capable, fun and reliable time-builder, or simply one of the best-equipped 150s in the country, “The Buck Fiddy” stands out.
