New In The BAS Disassembly Hangar January 22nd, 2026

The Grumman G-164A Ag Cat is one of the most recognizable purpose-built agricultural aircraft ever produced, and this particular airframe came to us with a story rooted in practicality. Originally retained as a parts aircraft for its engine and select equipment, the previous owner ultimately ran out of space and made the decision to donate the remainder of the aircraft to us. That choice allowed this Ag Cat to continue supporting the aviation community, ensuring that valuable components could be carefully recovered and put back into service rather than left unused.

Designed in the mid-1950s specifically to meet the demands of agricultural aviation, the Ag Cat represented a major step forward in safety, durability, and mission focus. Developed by Grumman engineers Joe Lippert and Arthur Koch, the aircraft incorporated features such as a pressurized cockpit to protect pilots from chemicals and a robust fuselage structure intended to absorb impact energy. Over the years, the Ag Cat design evolved through multiple variants and ownership changes, ultimately becoming one of the most widely produced agricultural aircraft in history, with thousands built and flown worldwide.

At our facility, this Ag Cat is being methodically disassembled with the same care we apply to every aircraft that enters our hangar. Each recoverable component is removed, cleaned, preserved, documented, and photographed before being cataloged and listed on our website. Our goal is to make high-quality, traceable parts available to owners and mechanics who rely on proven equipment to keep their aircraft operating. While this airframe’s flying days are behind it, its components will continue to support working aircraft for years to come, carrying forward the Ag Cat’s long legacy in a new and meaningful way.

We'll get these and much much more:

• Satloc M3 GPS System
• Cleveland Wheels and brakes
• Main landing gear
• Tailwheel spring
• Spray system
• And Much More!

The Mooney M20K in our hangar arrived here after a hard landing sequence that ended with a runway excursion. The aircraft bounced on landing, veered off the runway, and struck a sign. While that event brought its flying time to a close, it also created an opportunity to recover high value components so other Mooney owners and mechanics can keep their aircraft operating with dependable, well documented parts.

The M20 line has earned a strong reputation in general aviation for its efficiency, speed, and distinctive airframe design. Built as a four seat, low wing aircraft with tricycle gear, the M20 series has been produced in many variations over decades. Within that family, the M20K is known for bringing turbocharged performance to the lineup. Introduced as the M20K 231, it paired the M20 airframe with a turbocharged six cylinder Continental engine and helped define the fast cross country identity that many pilots associate with Mooney.

As an aircraft salvage company, our focus is straightforward and consistent. We carefully remove every recoverable component, clean them, preserve them, and document them with clear photos and traceable details. From there, parts are cataloged and listed on our website so owners and mechanics can source what they need with confidence. This M20K may no longer be flying, but its components can still support the Mooney fleet for years to come.

• And More to Come!

The Piper PA-28RT-201T Turbo Arrow IV in our hangar came to us for a common reason in general aviation: the cost to repair it exceeded its overall value. When an aircraft reaches that point, the most practical path is often to recover the parts that still have plenty of service life left in them. That is exactly why this Turbo Arrow IV is here, and why it will continue supporting other aircraft long after its own flying days have ended.

The Turbo Arrow IV is part of Piper’s PA-28 Cherokee family, a long running line that has served flight training, personal flying, and utility roles for decades. The PA-28 series is known for its all metal construction, low wing design, and straightforward layout. Within that family, the Arrow models added retractable landing gear and constant speed prop capability, and the turbocharged variants brought strong performance at altitude. The Arrow IV stands out with its T tail configuration, making it instantly recognizable on the ramp.

As an aircraft salvage company, our process is built around care and consistency. We carefully remove each recoverable component, clean it, preserve it, and document it with detailed photos and traceable information before it is cataloged and listed on our website for owners and mechanics. This Turbo Arrow IV may not be returning to the flight line, but its parts will help keep other PA-28 aircraft operating reliably and safely for years to come.

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

• Engine is in pieces
• Both wings passed and have paperwork
• TurboPlus intercooler system
• King KX-165 Nav/Comm Transceiver (14V)
• King KMA-24 Marker Becaon
• New style control yokes
• Dual rudder brake pedal system
• Adjustable pilot and co-pilot seats
• Retract actuators and power pack
• Merlyn Black Magic Wastegate
• Narco ELT10
• And Even More!

The Piper PA-28-180 Cherokee in our hangar arrived after a forced landing that resulted in damage to the airframe. When an event like that happens, the path forward often becomes less about returning the aircraft to service and more about recovering the components that can still help keep other Cherokees flying. That is the role this aircraft will fill here, turning a difficult day for one airframe into long term support for the broader fleet.

The PA-28 Cherokee family is one of the most widely used light aircraft lines in general aviation. Built as an all metal, unpressurized, single engine design with low mounted wings and tricycle landing gear, the Cherokee became a staple for training, personal flying, and utility work. The PA-28-180 brought additional power to the lineup, making it more practical for four seat operations depending on load and fuel. Its straightforward design and widespread adoption have kept it popular with owners, flight schools, and mechanics for decades.

As an aircraft salvage company, our work is centered on careful, organized component recovery. We carefully remove each recoverable part, clean it, preserve it, and document it with clear photos and traceable details before cataloging it and listing it on our website. That process helps owners and mechanics find dependable parts for their aircraft while keeping quality and documentation at the forefront. This PA-28-180 may have been damaged in its forced landing, but many of its components can still provide real value to the Cherokee community.
