The ultimate European cross-country machine.

This 1969 Robin DR-253 R gent (S/N 144) represents the pinnacle of the legendary Jodel wooden wing design combined with a massive, comfortable cabin. Powered by the bulletproof 180 HP Lycoming engine, the R gent is a true 4-seat aircraft capable of carrying 4 adults, full fuel, and luggage with outstanding short-field performance.

This particular aircraft comes with an exceptional maintenance pedigree. It has just passed its massive 6-year structural inspection in August 2026, offering the next owner total peace of mind and years of worry-free flying. Always hangared, meticulously tracked, and ready to fly anywhere in Europe tomorrow.
