Gladstone Aero Club member, John G, has decided to sell his much loved and immaculately maintained Thorp T-18 VH-IXI, which he affectionately nicknamed 'Skippy'.

'Skippy' is a 1977 Amateur Built Thorp T-18 and is powered by a single Textron Lycoming piston engine. The plane is classified as an aerobatic aircraft. On a previous profile of 'Skippy', we discovered from John that the general cruising speed of the aircraft is about 150 knots, with a maximum speed of about 160 knots. 'Skippy' can operate with the economical cruising speed of about 140-145 knots, and at a cruising altitude of 6000-7000 feet, the aircraft has an endurance of about 3 hours flying time.

If you or perhaps you know of any potentially interested buyer, John can be contacted by email at: grothy@hotkey.net.au
Under a sale-leaseback arrangement, the aircraft owner sells the aircraft to the lender or lessor who then immediately leases the aircraft back to the original owner. There will be no interruption or disruption of aircraft operations, but the transaction should give the company some extra cash.
