New In The Piston Hangar: Cessna 177B, Piper PA-28R-201T, Cessna 337G, Cessna 172G Entering Disassembly
Posted by Clinton McJenkin on Jul 6th 2026
A Cessna 177B Cardinal, Piper PA-28R-201T Turbo Arrow III, Cessna 337G Super Skymaster, and Cessna 172G Skyhawk have all entered BAS disassembly. Together, they cover a practical stretch of the piston fleet: fixed-gear Cessna utility, turbocharged retractable Piper travel, centerline-thrust twin-engine oddball brilliance, and the kind of Skyhawk support that never really goes out of season.
Four piston aircraft are now in the BAS Disassembly Hangar, and this lineup has range.
Not airline range. Not marketing range. Real general aviation range.
A Cessna 177B Cardinal, Piper PA-28R-201T Turbo Arrow III, Cessna 337G Super Skymaster, and Cessna 172G Skyhawk have all entered BAS disassembly.

Each aircraft came to BAS with a different reason for leaving flight service. That is not the part we need to drag across the ramp. The useful components are the story now.

Cessna 177B Cardinal
The Clean-Wing Cessna That Refused To Be Just Another 172
The Cessna 177B Cardinal has always sat in an interesting corner of the Cessna family. It was designed as a more modern, cleaner high-wing airplane with better visibility, a strutless cantilever wing, and a cabin feel that separated it from the more familiar 172 crowd. The Cardinal was never as common as the Skyhawk, and that is exactly why good Cessna 177B Cardinal parts still get attention when they show up.
The 177B brought the Cardinal idea into a more mature form, with the fixed-gear simplicity owners wanted and the distinctive Cardinal profile that made it stand apart on the ramp. For shops and owners keeping Cardinals flying, the value is often in the details: doors, windows, interior pieces, control surfaces, cowling, fuel system parts, landing gear hardware, lighting, instruments, airframe hardware, and all the aircraft-specific pieces that are easy to take for granted until one is needed.
This Cessna 177B came to BAS after a forced landing in a field related to fuel starvation. Publicly, that is enough. The airplane is now in the 575 shop for disassembly, and the useful parts will be cataloged, photographed, priced, and listed as they move through the BAS process. The Cardinal’s flying chapter has closed, but its better components still have work ahead.
Another 177B, somewhere else, keeps flying because of what this one still has left. We’ll be recovering a strong list of components to keep other aircraft going, such as...
- Lycoming O-360-A1F6 Engine, prop strike
- McCauley B2D34C208 2-blade prop hub
- Garmin GTX-650Xi GPS/Nav/Comm
- X2 Garmin G5’s
- JPI EDM-900 Engine monitoring system
- Lynx NGT-9000 ADS-B Transponder
- Garmin GMA-345 Audio Panel
- TruTrak autopilot
- Electronic ignition system
- LED Tail Beacon
Piper PA-28R-201T Turbo Arrow III
The Arrow With More Climb In Its Coffee
The Piper PA-28R-201T Turbo Arrow III is one of those airplanes that makes sense to pilots who like their traveling machines compact, capable, and just complicated enough to stay interesting. It brings the Cherokee/Arrow family formula into turbocharged, retractable-gear territory, giving owners a four-seat personal and business airplane with altitude capability, a constant-speed propeller, and the extra systems depth that makes Turbo Arrow parts worth watching.
The Turbo Arrow III sits in a useful parts-market lane. It is still familiar enough that shops know the platform, but specific PA-28R-201T parts are not always sitting politely on the shelf when someone needs them. Retractable landing gear components, fuel system parts, engine accessories, turbo-related support components, flight controls, doors, windows, interior pieces, instrument panel hardware, and Piper airframe parts all matter to the owners and shops keeping these airplanes working.
This Piper came to BAS after storm damage ended its flying career as a complete aircraft. The wind may have made the decision, but the parts department still gets the next vote. As the aircraft moves through BAS 575 shop disassembly, recoverable components will be identified, photographed, and listed for the Piper Arrow fleet. The airframe may be done traveling as one complete Turbo Arrow, but its best pieces are not done being useful.
We’ll pull a solid lineup of parts from this aircraft and send that value right back into the fleet, such as...
- Continental TSIO-360-F (no prop strike)
- Hartzell 2-Blade prop BHC-C2YF-1BF/F8459A-8R (no strike)
- Power pack
- Dual rudder pedal master cylinders
- New style control yokes
- Adjustable front seats
- Piper autocontrol IIIB autopilot
- Tinted visors (Piper not Rosen)
- Collins TDR-950 Transponder
- Collins ADF-650
- X2 Collins VHF-251 Comm Receiver
- X2 Collins VIR-351 NAV Receiver
Cessna 337G Super Skymaster
Two Engines, One Centerline, Zero Need To Be Normal
The Cessna 337G Super Skymaster is not a standard light twin, and that is the whole point. Cessna’s push-pull, centerline-thrust layout gave the Skymaster a personality all its own: one engine in the nose, one behind the cabin, twin booms, retractable gear, and a sound that announces itself before the airplane is done arriving. It is a twin, but not the usual twin. That makes the 337 interesting to fly, interesting to maintain, and very interesting when the right parts become available.
For the remaining Super Skymaster fleet, parts support can be a very specific game. Owners and shops may need Cessna 337G airframe hardware, landing gear components, doors, windows, cabin parts, flight controls, engine accessories, fuel system components, electrical items, cowling, boom-related hardware, interior pieces, and aircraft-specific Skymaster parts that do not exactly have cousins hanging on every shelf. That is where a careful BAS disassembly matters.
This Cessna 337G is now in the BAS 575 shop after prior airframe damage ended its flying career. The public story does not need to become a report. The useful part is what happens next: component recovery, clear identification, real photos, published pricing, and parts moving back into circulation for the owners and shops keeping Super Skymasters supported.
Here's what we plan to recover:
- Continental IO-360-GB (no prop strike, FWD engine)
- Continental IO-360-GB (core, AFT engine)
- McCauley D2A34C307 Propeller (no strike)
- Garmin GNS-430W WAAS/GPS/Nav/Comm
- Uavionix SkyBeacon (New in box)
- PS Engineering PMA8000 Audio Panel
- A/C System

Cessna 172G Skyhawk
The Skyhawk Does Not Need To Explain Itself
The Cessna 172G Skyhawk belongs to one of the most familiar aircraft families in aviation. That familiarity can make people overlook the point: the 172 fleet still matters because it is everywhere, and it is everywhere because the airplane earned it. Training, personal flying, time-building, airport errands, first ownership, last ownership, and every practical mission in between, the Skyhawk has done the job for generations.
The 172G carries the classic early Skyhawk character: simple systems, high-wing utility, four-seat usefulness, and the kind of straightforward airframe that made the 172 a permanent part of the general aviation landscape. For parts buyers, that means Cessna 172G parts still move with a purpose. Doors, windows, cowling, control surfaces, interior pieces, instrument panel components, lighting, fuel system parts, wheels, brakes, fairings, and Cessna airframe hardware remain useful across a fleet that refuses to fade politely into the background.
This Cessna 172G came to BAS after a forced landing related to fuel starvation. That part of the story is short. The useful part is longer. The aircraft is now in the 575 shop for disassembly, where BAS will recover, document, photograph, and list the components that can support other Skyhawks still earning their keep.
Its flying days are over, but its job is not, and we’ll recover a great list of components from this aircraft to support the fleet, such as...
- Continental O-300-D (no strike)
- Garmin GNS-530 GPS/Nav/Comm
- Garmin GTX-330 Transponder (No ADS-B)
- Garmin GNC-250XL
- King KMA-24 Marker Beacon
- Nose gear looks good, need to check chrome
- Rudder
- Leading edge landing lights
- Cleveland wheels and brakes
- Rosen visors
- Fixed base seats
- Main gear looks bad
