Each day, the team at Aircraft For Sale picks an airplane that catches our attention because it is unique, represents a good deal, or has other interesting qualities. You can read Aircraft For Sale: Today’s Top Pick at FLYINGMag.com daily.

The Lockwood AirCam takes “low and slow” to a new level. Some pilots with experience in the aircraft describe flying at 50 feet agl and 48 knots while smelling the flowers below. Sitting in the AirCam’s open cockpit can give you a rare peek into how it must have felt for many aviation pioneers during the first years of powered flight. Unlike those early aircraft, though, this tested design built with modern materials and two reliable engines is a safer, more practical machine.

This AirCam has 1,285 hours on the airframe and both of its Rotax 912 ULS engines. There are 1,146 hours on each of its overhauled Warp Drive propellers. The aircraft also has a third seat that can fit in the baggage area.

This airplane's new panel features Dynon avionics, including a 10-inch Skyview Classic EFIS display, Dynon com radio, transponder, ADS-B out and In with traffic and weather, and a PM 3000 audio panel with intercom. The rear-seat panel includes a 7-inch Dynon Skyview Classic.

Pilots looking for a pure expression of flight that includes wind in the face and nearly unlimited visibility should consider this 2000 Lockwood AirCam, which is available for $129,000 on AircraftForSale.

You can arrange financing of the aircraft through FLYING Finance. For more information, email info@flyingfinancial.com.
