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.
Cessna’s 206 has a long-established reputation for deftly carrying people and cargo into and out of challenging fields, often where most pilots would not dare to attempt a landing. Unlike many short-field specialty aircraft, the 206 has the speed and range to complete cross-country missions with ease.
You can consider the 206 a work vehicle like a rugged pickup truck, but while it is capable of heavy lifts, the aircraft for sale today also gives the impression of a personal luxury transport. With its turbocharged engine putting out lots of power even at higher altitudes, the 206 offers pilots the option of picking a broad range of cruising altitudes to take advantage of the best wind and weather conditions.
This 2017 Cessna T206H has 415 hours on the airframe and 415 hours since new for its 310 hp Lycoming TIO-540 and three-blade McCauley propeller. The aircraft is equipped with a Tanis engine preheater, GAMI fuel injectors, and Rosen sun visors.
