The two-place trainer has an upgraded VFR panel centered on Garmin’s G5 attitude indicator, new paint, a new interior, and a recently overhauled engine, according to a news release. Funds generated by the raffle “will get some great kid aviation opportunities” at the museum, said Eagle Flying Museum Executive Director Scott Perdue.
The raffle’s second prize is a Lightspeed Zulu.2 automatic noise reduction headset given by Marv Golden, and third prize is a King Schools pilot written exam course of the winner’s choice.
“We’re very excited that Eagle Flying Museum has come up with such a creative way to fund a great new aircraft restoration project for kids!” wrote Freeman.
