This particular example is a two-owner airplane, hangared since new and looks the part. The seller reports cruising at a true airspeed (TAS) of 85 mph and 6 gallons per hour at 3,000 feet. This means it can be flown by sport pilots without an FAA medical certificate.

Our true airspeed was about 137 mph burning 40 ltr/hr (10.5 gal/hr) […] The post Two of Us Went to Oshkosh, and Three Came Home: Our Third Passenger, Lindy first appeared on Hangar Flying. Our group included a 170, 182, and my Bearhawk with my friend Jim Gile as my co-pilot.

We didn’t have a heated hangar, but our chief instructor pointed out that, if we did, melted water could collect in the control surfaces, waiting to refreeze once the plane left the hangar and put the control surfaces out of balance. On one trip home, we had a 50-knot headwind, really annoying at a true airspeed of only 125.

Jet Nassau offers ground support services at NAS (Nassau, Bahamas), with 20,000 sq ft of hangar space and 300,000 sq ft of ramp space. With jet cruise true airspeeds between 400 and 500 kts, this has a big effect on ground speed, and therefore on cruise performance and efficiency.
