N154MA 2001 Micco SP26



Jerry says this is one great flying platform. It has a strictly VFR Panel with a GX65, transponder, autopilot with altitude hold and looks like a fighter. Maximum flap extension is 30 degrees. There are cute little "windows" in the floor to allow you to see if the gear is tucked or extended. It's a plane that looks like it's going fast just sitting on the ramp. 

It was originally built by the Seminole Indian Tribe of Florida by Chief James Billie but has recently been sold to others. The Micco is based on the Meyers 145 and Meyers 200. Jerry can't say enough about the wonderful handling of N154 MA.
