That’s a nicely kept 2015 Husky A-1C in the lead photo. Owner Kent Wien said the airplane can carry as much useful load as a Cessna 180. With a belly pod and big tires, it’ll do 130 MPH on 8.5 GPH.

Believe most of the things you’ve heard about the Aviat Husky backwoods taildragger. Yes, the Husky is 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. 

Unapologetically designed with the Super Cub firmly in mind, Aviat gets credit for marketing the airplane to a wide range of customers—from pilots new to taildraggers looking for a second or third airplane for play to pros who might use the airplane we’ll off the beaten path.
