Aviat Husky A–1C
Perfect for adventurers
The Aviat Husky A–1C has that look-back factor that all great airplanes aspire to, sitting nose-high and proud with distinct squared-off wings.

But the backcountry need not be where you start, as this is an airplane that can also grow with you, from pavement to peaks, as your tailwheel and energy management skills grow. New A–1Cs also have IFR panel and autopilot options, meaning they can be outfitted to do just about anything—except go very fast if you do decide to go with the nearly standard-issue, big Alaska Gear Company bushwheels.
All in all, this is an airplane that’s fun to fly no matter where you are, and it can go anywhere you can dream.
