The Nanchang CJ-6A
This affordable warbird is made for safe ex-military flying. Great handling and easy maintenance are her greatest virtues. She is the perfect syndicate aircraft because she is easy to fly - and fully aerobatic. The CJ (we call her a Dragon in SA) performs like a T6 but at literally half the cost. She is as easy to land as a Cessna because of her nosewheel - but has the performance you would expect from a jet transition trainer. This is your ideal entry to the world of aircraft with character.
