Folks,
In recent times, I have seen two late model, low hour (genuine) Aztec that have always been private aircraft, going for a song.
Trouble is, Aztecs are cheap here, too, and by the time you add the cost inc. GST of getting the aircraft here --- and putting it on the AU register (if you must, there are alternatives) ---- what you have is a real nice aeroplane, at about the same price as a higher hour airframe here.
Who said the Aztec was not a Piper aircraft. The line might have theoretically started as the Twin-Stinson108, but the first PA 23-150 Apaches didn't owe much to the Twin Stinson, apart from the fact they were both twin engine aircraft. It's stretching a long bow to say the Apache/Apache 236/Aztec line are "not really Pipers".
Tootle pip!!.
