If anyone knows of anything near them please let me know. The more details the better. Thanks Last edited by Ronald_Twente; 03/15/19 01:35 AM.

But 150 is a little too small for him and Comanche 250 is where he was at 3 years ago. Trying to stay fixed gear and fixed prop if he can.

You have to search "Comanche 180" as it wont come up any other way. It's still for sale, I talked to the guy yesterday. It needs a radio stack, and likely $10k worth of maintenance. dw 64' C150D Patroller N4199U

Best I ever saw was barely over 130 kts. The 250/260 Comanches are definitely nice improvements in all areas. All the Comanches are nice birds to fly and they are roomy to boot.
