New In The Piston Hangar: Piper PA-34-200T Seneca II, Cessna 310Q, Cessna 182M Skylane Entering Disassembly
Posted by Clinton McJenkin on Apr 16th 2026
Some airplanes arrive with dignity. These four showed up with paperwork, stories, and a very clear future in parts. Pulled into the BAS disassembly hangar together are a Piper PA-34-200T Seneca, Cessna 310Q, Cessna 182M, and Rockwell Commander 114. Each one reached the point where returning the whole airframe to service no longer made sense, but that does not put an end to the value.
A Hangar Full of Second Chances
Some airplanes arrive with dignity. These four showed up with paperwork, stories, and a very clear future in parts. Pulled into the BAS disassembly hangar together are a Piper PA-34-200T Seneca, Cessna 310Q, Cessna 182M, and Rockwell Commander 114. Each one reached the point where returning the whole airframe to service no longer made sense, but that does not put an end to its value.
That's where our work begins. We are not here to dwell on bent metal or bad luck. We are here to recover what still matters, preserve the useful life still inside these aircraft, put quality components back into circulation for the fleets that need them, and make sure that anything left over gets properly recycled, reused, repurposed - and put in a landfill as often as we can help it. From legacy piston icons to modern composite speed machines, this group covers a lot of ground, and there is a lot worth saving in the process.

Piper PA-34-200T Seneca II
Twin Power, Off-Airport Finish
The Piper PA-34-200T Seneca II sits in a very specific place in the Seneca lineage. It is where Piper took a capable light twin and gave it real altitude performance with turbocharged engines, while refining the handling to make it more predictable when it matters most. It kept the counter-rotating setup that removed a lot of the drama from engine-out scenarios, which is exactly why the Seneca became a staple in training and light transport. It is a working airplane, built to handle situations that do not go to plan.
This one proved that point. A forced landing in a hayfield is not how the day is supposed to end, but the airplane did its job and got on the ground. That is where its flying life shifts direction. What remains is still valuable. Systems, structure, and components that defined the Seneca II’s reliability are now recovered, documented, and put back into inventory.
Another twin, 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...
- Continental TSIO-360-EB (prop strike)
- Continental LTSIO-360-EB (prop strike)
- Hartzell BHC-C2YF-2CLKUF (struck)
- Hartzell BHC-C2YF-2CKU (struck)
- Dynon system
- Dynon SV-HDX1100
- Dynon SV-HDX800
- Dynon D30
- Dynon SV-EMS-220 Engine Monitoring Module
- Garmin GMA-345 Bluetooth Audio Panel
- Garmin GTX-345 ADS-B In/Out Transponder
- Apollo SL-30 VHF Nav/Comm
- Garmin GNS-530W WAAS/GPS/Nav/Comm
- Garmin GI-275 (ADI)
- Garmin G5
- Rosen Visors
- New style rams horn control yokes
- Dual rudder pedal brakes
- Stratus USB power port

Cessna 310Q
Short Field Capable. Just Not That Short.
The Cessna 310 helped define what a light twin could be. Fast for its class, efficient to operate, and flexible enough to serve everywhere from charter fleets to private owners, it earned its reputation by doing real work. Over time, Cessna refined the platform into the later models like the 310Q, part of the final short-nose series, carrying incremental improvements and one of the more recognizable features in the line with its rear cabin skylight. It is a platform that always balanced speed, utility, and presence.
This one was still doing exactly that until it ran out of runway. An overshoot turned into an off-field excursion, and something hidden in the field made the decision for it. That is where the story changes. The 310 has always been part of a parts-driven ecosystem, and airplanes like this are a big reason why. The systems and structure that made it a strong performer are now recovered and put back to work, supporting the rest of the fleet that is still out there moving.
We’ll pull a solid lineup of parts from this aircraft and send that value right back into the fleet, such as...
- Continental IO-470-VO (prop strike)
- LH: SMOH: 1517.9 / TT: 4949.8
- RH: SMOH: 363.7 / TT: 4949.8
- X2 McCauley 3-Blade propeller (prop strike)
- Garmin GNS-430W WAAS/GPS/Nav/Comm
- Garmin GNS-430 GPS/Nav/Comm
- Garmin GMA-340 Audio Panel
- Garmin GTX-330ES ADS-B Out Transponder
- Keith Air Conditioning System
- Century 2000 Autopilot system
- Cleveland wheels and brakes
Cessna 182M Skylane
Never Left the Ground. Still Didn’t Make It.
The Cessna 182 Skylane is one of the most recognizable and widely used aircraft in general aviation for a reason. Introduced as the tricycle-gear evolution of the 180, it became the go-to platform for owners who needed something dependable, versatile, and capable of doing a little bit of everything. Over the years, the design was refined with practical improvements in visibility, comfort, and usability. The 182M sits right in the middle of that evolution, a product of the era when the Skylane had fully established itself as a standard on ramps everywhere.
This one never even made it to departure. A tree strike during taxi ended the flight before it began, which is a tough way for any Skylane to exit service. Even so, the usefulness does not end there. The 182 fleet is massive, and demand for parts never really slows down. What can be recovered from this aircraft now moves forward, supporting the same mission it was built for, just on a different airframe.
Here's what we plan to recover:
- Norland/Aerotec STC’d Continental IO-470-D (Carbureted) engine
- McCauley 2DA37C230-B 2-Blade propeller
Garmin GTX-335 ADS-B Out Transponder(SOLD)- Garmin GMA-340 Audio Panel
- King KX-155 Nav/Comm Glideslope Receiver (14V)
- King KN-64 DME Transceiver
- King KX170B Nav/Comm
- King KR-86 ADF
- JPI EDM-700 Engine monitor system
- Electronics International R-1 RPM Tachometer Indicator
- Electronics International M-1 Manifold Pressure Indicator
- Heavy duty STC’d Kosola engine mount
Airglas heavy duty nose gear fork(SOLD)- Lower nose gear mount looks good
- Steering bungee
- LED wing tip Pulsar 650 Nav/Strobe lights
- LED Landing/Taxi Lights
Reduced diameter fuel caps and adapters(SOLD)- Baggage door latch works
- Cleveland wheels and brakes
- Century IIB Autopilot system
- Rosen Visors
- SK182-115 reinforcement kit installed

Rockwell Commander 114
Came Up Short. Looked Good Doing It.
The Rockwell Commander 114 stands apart from its peers in a way that is immediately obvious. Rockwell designed the Commander line with a focus on space, structure, and ramp presence, giving it a wide cabin, a strong airframe, and a look that still turns heads. The earlier 112 carried that philosophy but lacked the power to fully match it. The 114 corrected that with a larger engine and better overall balance, creating an airplane that finally delivered on the design’s intent. It never became the volume leader, but it built a loyal following among those who understood what it offered.
This one ran out of options short of the runway. Fuel exhaustion does not leave much margin, and the airplane put itself down where it could. The damage closes the chapter on its flying life, but not its value. Commanders are not high-production aircraft, which makes every usable component more important. Through disassembly, the parts that define the airplane’s fit, structure, and systems are recovered and put back into circulation, keeping the rest of the fleet intact.
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...
- Lycoming IO-540-T4B5D (prop strike)
- Hartzell 2 Blade Propeller
- Garmin GNS-530 Non WAAS GPS/Nav/Comm
- Garmin GTX-327 Transponder
- Dual Garmin G5 set up
- JPI EDM-830 Engine Monitoring System
- PS Engineering PMA7000B
- Century III Autopilot System
- Rosen Visors
- Leather wrapped control yokes
- Cleveland wheels and brakes
- BoomBeam Lower Cowl HID Light
