If you want an airplane that will go fast (over 200 KTAS), carry a ton of weight (2,187 pound useful load), and is pressurized, say hello to N717VS.
Meticulously cared for by Best Aviation Services in Longmont, CO, the BEST Beechcraft Duke shop in the country, N717VS is by far in the top 5 of Duke’s that are still flying today.
Once the new owner installs the BLR Winglets and Aft strakes, it may very well be the best piston Duke in the country.
Completely upgraded avionics, great paint and interior, N717VS is ready to fly.
