This aircraft started life as a 1956 Piper Tri-Pacer, or PA-22. In 1997 it was extensively modified, and as a result, transferred from the Certified Aircraft category to the Experimental Aircraft category. Today, with all of the modifications and updating completed, this airplane is essentially a brand new airplane, with a substantial range of capabilities, including exceptional Short Field Take-off and Landing performance (500’), landing and taking off from the water on floats, or flying with snow skis. From backcountry and bush flying or flying in and out of the largest and most modern airports in the world. The Bushmaster 300 is truly an airplane for all seasons and reasons.
