Magnificent and highly capable 1969 Robin DR253 R gent (S/N 144).

True to its legendary "Grand Tourisme" heritage, the R gent represents the ultimate cross-country flying machine. It beautifully combines the unmatched aerodynamics and structural robustness of the Jodel wing design with a spacious cabin comfort that easily rivals or surpasses modern aircraft standards.

Meticulously maintained and kept in a dry hangar, this stable touring platform features an upgraded, illuminated baggage compartment, making it the ideal choice for comfortable European cross-country travel with 4 adults. This aircraft has been loved, flown, and cared for by a passionate flying club, who are now parting with it with deep regret.
