Ready to upgrade to a larger airplane?
GFPA has some of the best high performance aircraft in Michigan. Our flagship, N3559E, a 2001 Cessna 182T… new engine, new leather, new panel, new paint. Of course… It’s (like) new! A crisp 145kts (well, maybe downhill. But, you can still plan at 140kts!) A KLN94 GPS coupled to a KMD-550 Multi Function Display and a JP Instruments engine monitor round out the package.
