Meticulously cared for by Best Aviation Services in Longmont, CO, the BEST Beechcraft Duke shop in the country, N717VS is by far in the top 5 of Duke’s that are still flying today.
Once the new owner installs the BLR Winglets and Aft strakes, it may very well be the best piston Duke in the country.
