Description

→ BUSINESS UP FRONT, PARTY IN THE BACK ← Donny Gabriel with Mason Amelia presents N744JC, a ‘79 Colemill Navajo CR that’s built for payload and elbow room. With seating for seven, ample space for just about anything you want to haul, and the performance and comfort to make long cross-country flights feel routine, it's a party bus. At the heart of this Navajo is the Colemill STC. Power comes from a pair of 50-hour, firewall-forward Lycoming overhauls that replace the stock 325-horsepower engines with 350-horsepower variants. The result is stronger climb performance, faster cruise speeds, and the reliability that has made the Colemill conversion so highly regarded. Hartzell 4-blade Q-Tip propellers and sleek winglets complete the package, adding both performance and a quiet cabin. Bonus points for ramp appeal. The panel is anchored by a Garmin avionics suite, featuring a G600 primary flight display, GTN 750 and 650 navigators, and a GTX 345R remote ADS-B In transponder, to name a few. Handling the automated flying is the S-TEC 3100 digital autopilot with yaw damper and Level mode. Engine monitoring is provided by dual Auracle 2120 systems, while the Copilot seat benefits from the redundancy of an Aspen Evolution PFD. N744JC wears a modern multi-tone paint scheme with sweeping lines and a thick gloss coat. Inside, the clean, well-kept cabin features beige leather seating, off-white and blue sidewalls, chestnut carpeting, executive writing desks, and hardwood storage compartments, offering a comfortable and functional space for passengers. This ol' gal cleans up mighty nice. She’s the complete package: fast, spacious, stunning, well cared for, and equipped with modern avionics and key upgrades.
