New In The BAS Disassembly Hangar January 14th, 2026

The Cessna T182T Skylane is a well-known and highly capable aircraft within the general aviation community, valued for its combination of performance, utility, and comfort. As a four-seat, single-engine aircraft with the option for additional child seating in the baggage area, the Skylane has long served roles ranging from personal transportation to training and utility flying. Introduced in the mid-1950s and refined through decades of production, the 182 series remains one of Cessna’s most successful designs, second only to the 172 in overall popularity.

The T182T variant represents one of the most advanced iterations of the Skylane line. Produced from 2001 to 2013, it is powered by a turbocharged, fuel-injected Lycoming TIO-540 engine and is equipped for higher-altitude operations, including an onboard oxygen system. Later production models featured modern avionics such as the Garmin G1000, along with aerodynamic and cabin improvements that enhanced both performance and pilot experience. These features have made the T182T a sought-after platform for owners who value capability, efficiency, and modern systems.

The T182T currently in our hangar arrived after an incident in which the aircraft was caught by a strong gust of wind while being taxied, causing it to veer into a drainage ditch. As it moves through our disassembly process, we will be carefully removing and cataloging its components to support the continued operation of similar aircraft worldwide. With its advanced systems and robust design, this Skylane represents an important source of parts for operators looking to maintain and preserve the longevity of the 182 fleet.

We'll get these and much much more:

• Lycoming TIO-540-AK1A, prop strike
• McCauley 3-Blade Propeller Hub
• X2 King KX-155A Nav/Comm Transceivers
• King KAP-140 Autopilot w/ servos
• Stratus ESG ADS-B Out Transponder
• King KLN-94 GPS
• King KMD-540 MFD
• JPI EDM-700 Engine monitor system
• New style control yokes
• PAI-700 Vertical Card Compass
• Cleveland wheels and brakes
• LED Position Lights
• And So Much More!
   

The Mooney M20J does not so much fly as it slices through the sky. With its low wing, sleek profile, and unmistakable urgency, the M20 family has long been known for efficiency paired with real cross country speed. Designed by Al Mooney as his most successful aircraft, the M20 series has been produced in numerous variations over more than six decades, earning a loyal following among pilots who appreciate smart aerodynamics and strong performance.

The M20J is the model that truly put Mooney on the speed map. Introduced in the mid 1970s and widely known as the “201” for its 201 mile per hour capability, the M20J became a benchmark for aerodynamic refinement in general aviation. Features like streamlined landing gear doors, flush airframe panels, and drag reducing details throughout the aircraft helped it achieve impressive cruise speeds while maintaining excellent fuel efficiency. It is an airplane that rewards precision and planning and delivers serious capability for long distance travel.

The M20J currently in our hangar arrived after veering off the runway during landing and experiencing a prop strike. As it moves through our disassembly process, we will be removing and cleaning its components to support Mooney operators and maintenance teams around the world. From its efficient airframe to its purpose built systems, this aircraft will continue to contribute to the Mooney fleet by helping keep other M20s flying strong.

Here's some of what we expect:

• Lycoming IO-360-A3B, prop struck
• McCauley 2-Blade Prop
• X2 Aspen EFD-1000 MAX MFD
• Garmin GTX-345 ADS-B In/Out Transponder  
• Garmin GNS-530W WAAS/GPS/Nav/Comm
• King KX-155 Nav/Comm Transceiver, 14V/Glideslope
• S-Tec 55X Autopilot w/ Servos
• Xerion AuRACLE Engine Monitoring System
• LED wing tip and tail position lights
• Lo-Presti Hub Caps
• Cleveland Wheels and Brakes
• Skytec Starter
• New style control yokes
• Rosen Sun Visors
• Flight Stream 210

The Piper PA-28-181 Archer is one of those airplanes that seems to be everywhere for a reason. It is straightforward, predictable, and endlessly practical. As part of the legendary PA-28 Cherokee family, the Archer has served generations of pilots as a trusted trainer, time builder, and personal traveler. With its low wing, simple systems, and forgiving flight characteristics, the Archer has earned a reputation as an airplane that just does what it is supposed to do, day in and day out.

Introduced as an evolution of the earlier Cherokee models, the Archer brought more power, a stretched cabin, and later a semi-tapered wing that improved handling and performance. Powered by a 180 horsepower Lycoming engine, the PA-28-181 strikes a sweet spot between capability and simplicity. It competes head to head with aircraft like the Cessna 172, but offers a different feel that many pilots prefer, especially those who like a low wing platform and stable cross country manners. It is no surprise the Archer remains in production today in multiple modern variants.

The Archer currently in our hangar arrived due to wing spar corrosion, a known challenge for aging airframes that have seen years of service. As it moves through our disassembly process, we will be carefully documenting and cataloging components to support flight schools, owners, and maintenance teams keeping PA-28s in the air. This aircraft may be done flying as a whole, but its parts will continue to support one of the most widely flown aircraft families in aviation history.

She's got a lot to offer, here's some of it:

• Engine (SOLD)
• Prop (damaged)
• Garmin GNS-430W GPS/Nav/Comm  
• King KX-165 Nav/Comm, 14V, GS
• King KT-74 ADS-B Out Transponder
• King KMA-24 Marker Beacon
• Rams horn control yokes
• Dual rudder brake pedals  
• Garmin Aera 500
• Nose gear and main landing gear
• AD compliant torque links
• Cleveland wheels and brakes

The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche is the kind of airplane that makes you do a double take on the ramp. Low wing, retractable gear, sleek lines, and a reputation for being a true traveling machine. When Piper rolled it out in the late 1950s, the Comanche was their big step into the faster, more refined side of single engine aviation. It was built to cover distance with style, and it quickly earned a following among pilots who wanted speed and efficiency without stepping into twin engine complexity.

The PA-24-250 is the sweet spot in the Comanche lineup. With a 250 horsepower Lycoming O-540 up front, it brought the kind of cruise performance that made “Saturday lunch a few states away” feel very normal. It is all metal, clean, and purposeful, with the retractable gear giving it that extra bit of slippery efficiency. The 250 became the most produced of the single engine Comanches, which tells you everything you need to know about how well it hit the mark for owners who wanted a serious cross country airplane.

The Comanche 250 in our hangar arrived after a gear up landing, which is one of those events that is equal parts dramatic and unforgettable. As it moves through our disassembly process, we will be carefully cleaning and cataloging components so other Comanches can stay in service and keep doing what they do best. This airplane may have slid to a stop on its belly, but it still has plenty left to give, and its parts will continue supporting a classic Piper that refuses to be forgotten.
