Aviat Husky

Kent Wein sent the photo of his handsome Aviat A-1C Husky. Clean 2015 models like this easily fetch $200,000 or more on the current market.

In a market where used aircraft prices are skyrocketing, it’s no surprise that the Aviat Husky models are premium priced. As of spring 2021, the earliest Husky (from 1998) has a typical retail price around $75,000, while later models are we’ll north of $200,000. Seem pricey for a two-place fabric taildragger? For some people. For others, the Husky could be the ultimate backwoods machine that’s just as good at sliding down GPS approaches at big-city fields as it is plopping down on a sandbar at your favorite adventure destination. Here’s a fresh look at the market.
