N525GA is serial number 525
of the 597 Dukes produced. This plane is loaded with mods
including BLR winglets/strakes/VG's, intercoolers, alternators, and
Skytec starters. There is no known damage history and the logs
are complete from the first New Zealand owner forward.
This Duke's first owner was in New Zealand, so she was tanked up and
ferried across the Pacific in 1980. After New Zealand, Duke
number 525 was registered in Finland as OH-BOY, and then was back to
the US in the late eighties / early 1990's. The last two owners
have been here in the dry Denver area climate - this plane has been in
the same hangar since 2006.
This well maintained Duke held an 8500 ft cabin at FL220 last week,
with a tight turbo system making quick work of the climb. TAS was
just shy of 220 ktas on 46 gph. All the windows have been resealed
recently. Both engines had the oil pans dropped and the cams
inspected at the last annual - the left cam was replaced with new by
Western Skyways. ADS-B in/out has already been taken care of with
a Garmin GTX-345 transponder. The autopilot is functioning very well,
and there is also a King Altitude Alert system installed.
This plane is hangared in the
Denver area and can be viewed by appointment. Please don't
hesistate to inquire with regard to tailoring this plane to
your needs (modifications, cosmetics, or avionics),
or to discuss financing options.
