CLASSIC 47 - RAMP READY!

Ok, I know you want to see the plane too. This is Bev Cleair's 2009 Cessna Skylane featuring upgraded avionics and a yoke mounted Garmin 496 GPS. So much is standard on this aircraft that nobody thought a cigarette lighter plug was necessary. So once in Ft. Meyers, the crew will find alternate power source to operate the portable Zaon XRX, TCAS (Traffic Collision and Avoidance Unit. Overall though the plane flies sweet and should be able to face nearly any pop-up weather problems.
