They come up for sale-- almost always "out of annual and has not flown in a few years."

Lack of pictures also strikes me as a danger sign.

One appealing thing about 680S, 560A and prior is the shorter wing. I think it is 44’ vs 49’ a few years later.

Hangar options are much better. Plus, If you want to open those supercharged engines up and do 200 kts, the long wing is just getting your way until above 11,000’

My emoji’s don’t work, but insert a couple of ear to ear grins.

It’s a bit sad for sure in general, but this one is the first advertisement I’ve seen from behind the barbed wire fence! Hilarious!

loving my ‘short wing’ 520 that I’ve been flying daily to work… its that darn 16’ tail that makes getti g a smaller hanger difficult
A pilot is only as good as his next landing
