963 Piper PA-25-235 Pawnee

Rare opportunity to acquire a classic Piper PA-25-235 Pawnee with excellent potential for restoration, rebuild, agricultural use or glider towing conversion.

This aircraft originally came from the United Kingdom and was brought to Hungary in 2025 with the intention of restoring it and converting it for glider towing operations. Due to personal/project reasons, the restoration project was not continued.

The aircraft has been customs-cleared into the European Union and is in free circulation within the EU. Complete documentation is available.

The PA-25 Pawnee is one of the most iconic agricultural aircraft ever built, known for its rugged construction, impressive low-speed handling and reliable Lycoming performance. Today, surviving examples are increasingly difficult to find in complete condition, especially with documentation and hangar storage history.

The aircraft has been hangared during its inactive period and appears to have a complete and remarkably original structure. It is offered as a non-airworthy restoration/project aircraft.
