Description
Bluebird Aviation is excited to exclusively bring to market this exceptional Piper PA-28RT-201T Turbo Arrow IV, G-BHFJ. Presented in pristine condition throughout, this is a particularly attractive example of Piper’s highly regarded turbocharged touring aircraft, benefiting from recent new paintwork, a low-time engine, very low-time propeller and a fresh Annual Inspection completed in April 2026. G-BHFJ has been very well maintained under a part 145 maintenance organisation and presented with considerable care. The recent paintwork gives the aircraft an excellent exterior appearance, complemented by its impressive mechanical times and recent annual. The Turbo Arrow IV offers an excellent balance of performance, comfort and practicality. Its turbocharged engine and retractable undercarriage make it a capable cross-country touring aircraft, while retaining the familiar handling and versatility of the PA-28 family. The aircraft is well equipped and ready to fly, making it an excellent proposition for a private owner looking for a capable and well-presented touring aircraft without the immediate requirement for significant cosmetic investment. UK VAT paid.
