- Owned by a highly experienced owner/pilot who’d flown everything from a Tri Pacer to Grumman Goose and DC3s, Mike’s dream airplane, was a Comanche 260. Unfortunately, he lost a battle with cancer before he could see the project through and fly the plane. This is a wonderful Comanche 260B, just begging for a new owner to finish this nearly complete project. The plane was recently flown from Texas to California on a ferry permit. You will see that nearly every major component has be replaced or overhauled.
