Premier Aircraft Sales Appointed
New Dealer For Aviat Aircraft's Husky A-1C.
Stu Horn, President of Aviat Aircraft, made the announcement that Premier Aircraft Sales, Inc., has become a dealer for Aviat Aircraft’s nimble Husky A-1C. Premier's territory for new Husky sales and service will include Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, West Virginia, North and South Carolina and Georgia.
"Many pilots have never experienced the fun that flying a taildragger offers," explained Fred Ahles, president, Premier Aircraft Sales, Inc. "I began my career at a small, country airport where a taildragger was the norm and not the exception.
"That's why I'm so excited about representing the Husky A-1C now. They deliver hour after hour of pure flying enjoyment," he added. "These Huskys offer little resemblance to the old taildraggers I grew up with. Huskys are comfortable and built to the highest quality of fit and finish."
The versatile Husky A-1C is available with normal or tundra tires, straight or amphibious floats and straight or retractable skis. The A-1C can be purchased with a 160, 180, or 200 hp Lycoming engine and an aluminum or composite propeller.
With over a 2,200 pound gross weight, the two-place, high wing Husky A-1C has the largest useful load in its class. The Husky has a cruising speed of 50 to 140 mph and has STOL (Short Takeoff/Landing) performance.
"And with apologies to all you 'old timers' out there, you can get a new Husky with a Garmin G600 glass panel including Nexrad radar, terrain and traffic avoidance and every other feature that has helped revolutionize the industry," Ahles said. "The bottom line is, when you want to have a lot of flying fun, give a Husky a try."
