1966 CESSNA 320E

Description

Detailed Description Turnkey aerial survey aircraft ready for immediate mission deployment. N61RW is a mission-ready 1966 Cessna 320E Executive Skyknight configured as a dedicated aerial survey, aerial mapping, and aerial photography platform. Factory-approved Cessna camera provisions modification (drawing 12310-1042) provides a 20" x 27" camera hatch suitable for large-format aerial cameras, medium-format cameras, LiDAR sensor integration, and multi-sensor payloads. RAM I 300HP turbocharged conversion (TSIO-520-EB) delivers the climb performance, high-altitude cruise, and payload capacity required for corridor mapping, orthomosaic capture, oblique photography, orthophotography, and photogrammetry missions. Proven revenue producer. This airframe has flown over 4,290 revenue hours in commercial aerial survey operations under our ownership since 2018. Ideal replacement or fleet addition for aerial survey operators, geospatial firms, aerial mapping companies, aerial photography businesses, remote sensing operators, and GIS service providers. Configured for two-seat crew operation (pilot and sensor operator) with rear seats removed for camera bay access. Sensor and camera mount hardware are not included. Buyer to supply and integrate their own sensor system under appropriate STC or field approval. Immaculate maintenance pedigree. Owned by our operation since March 2018 and now on its second set of engines and props under our ownership. OCR Aviation completed the 2020 annual. TAS Aviation has completed the 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 annual inspections and is currently completing the 2026 annual. Nothing has been deferred as this has been our primary revenue platform. All digital records available through Veryon (transferred October 2025), with prior records available through PLANELOGIX. Logbook #1 is missing. Logbook #2 begins December 1971. Damage history. A nose gear collapse is implied in the logbook on 2/4/89 at TTAF 3,093.1. The aircraft has flown 5,723 hours since without any related issue. In November 2019, an FBO tugged the aircraft with the brakes set during maintenance, damaging wheels and brakes. This was corrected on 11/22/19 by upgrading to the Cleveland Wheel and Brake Conversion Kit (P/N 199-64). No other damage history known. Export ready. Worldwide delivery available.
