Aerostar airframe #28 is a light and fast normally aspirated 1969 model year Aerostar 600 which was awarded an Airworthiness Certificate on January 29, 1970. This highly sought after Aerostar 600 is a low maintenance non-turbocharged model, prized for its light weight and simple engines that tend to run very cheap and last forever.  Most of these early Aerostars were used up as check haulers and charter aircraft, many accumulating 20,000 to 30,000 hours and more. 

This Aerostar has been privately owned throughout its life and has been based for the past 21 years in Colorado's dry climate with the current owner. Previous to the current owner, N5678 was based in a dry area of Southern California, based and maintained around Chino, Redlands, Ontario and Riverside areas. This Aerostar 600 has been maintained for decades by Aerostar Specialist, The Flight Shop, in Brigham City Utah.  The original owner was a music industry innovator in Altadena, California.  The next owner was the owner of a furniture business in Corona, California.  Included with the plane will be copies of this owners personal logs showing flights in the mid 1970's through mid 1980's. He purchased N5678 when his previous Aerostar was stolen. The current owner purchased it from the 3rd owner, Stan Paxson, who had  quite a bit of restoration work done on N5678 and won Queen of the Fleet honors at the 1992 Aerostar Owners Association in Santa Barbara.

This Aerostar was inspected and qualified for the current owner by his brother, a former president of the Aerostar owners association, and Bill Bridges (Founder of the Flight Shop).  This owner's family currently has five Aerostars amongst the two brothers and their children.
N5678 has complete maintenance logs since new with no known damage history.

This Aerostar 600 is currently viewable in Brigham City, UT, and can be seen by appointment only.  Insurance endorsed transition training and delivery are available.  Please don't hesistate to inquire with regard to upgrades or customization requests.
