Description

One Owner Skywagon, factory delivered with all logbooks and extensive documentation since new. Notes: This aircraft underwent an extensive and well documented rebuild by Beagles Aircraft Service, Greeley Colorado beginning in 2017. For those familiar with the work that Beagles has completed, this speaks for itself. No expenses were spared in this process to maintain N185RX’s condition as a clean, and well cared for example of a Skywagon. This aircraft has had many stories and memories in it’s life with its current owner, and the time has come for someone else to take care of this special machine. Digitalized Logbooks are available upon request.
