Exceptional Opportunity – 2013 Enstrom 280FX Shark
Offered for sale is this beautiful 2013 Enstrom 280FX Shark, an exceptionally well-presented helicopter both cosmetically and mechanically. Purchased from Roger Sharkey of Sharkey's Helicopters approximately 20 flight hours ago, this aircraft is now being offered for sale solely due to the owner's medical circumstances.
With a recent appraisal exceeding $500,000 and an asking price approximately $200,000 below the stated book value, this helicopter represents an outstanding opportunity for a buyer seeking exceptional value.
The owner can provide the appraisal documentation, aircraft time sheets, and maintenance information upon request. Prospective buyers are also welcome to contact Roger Sharkey directly for additional background and insight into the helicopter's condition.
Included in the sale are three noise-canceling aviation headsets and a 10-inch iPad setup. Recently installed exterior decals enhance the aircraft's appearance and can be removed without leaving residue, according to the owner.
