Beech Travel Air B95A

We’ve just brought a Beechcraft B95A Travel Air into our shop for disassembly! Unfortunately, this bird landed gear up on a runway, however, we still expect to get plenty of goodies from it. This twin-engine aircraft, designed as a direct competitor to the Cessna 310 and Piper Apache, took inspiration from several Beechcraft models, blending Bonanza-style aerodynamics with the robust structure of the Twin Bonanza. The Travel Air’s design incorporated a T-34 Mentor stabilizer, a strengthened landing gear system, and a wing spar from the Model 50 Twin Bonanza, making it a durable and well-balanced aircraft for pilots looking for a reliable light twin. Powered by two 180-horsepower Lycoming O-360 engines, the Travel Air boasted a solid cruise speed of 200 mph at 7,500 feet, making it a strong contender in the light twin market of its time.

Originally introduced in 1958, the aircraft was first marketed as the Badger before Beechcraft was forced to change the name due to a conflict with the U.S. Air Force’s designation for the Soviet Tu-16 bomber. The Travel Air name was a nod to the original Travel Air Manufacturing Company, which later became Beechcraft. While it was priced below the Cessna 310, it was still significantly more expensive than the Piper Apache, positioning it as a premium option in the twin-engine trainer and private aircraft category. With its solid build quality, smooth handling, and Beechcraft reputation, the Travel Air remained in demand, leading to several model updates over the years.

The B95A variant, like the one we’re disassembling, featured a 19-inch cabin stretch, enlarged stabilizers for better pitch control, a curved vertical stabilizer fairing, and fuel-injected Lycoming IO-360-B1A engines. With only 81 B95A units built between 1961 and 1962, this aircraft is a rare find. As we go through the teardown process, we’ll be cataloging a wide range of high-quality components, from engines and avionics to control surfaces and landing gear parts. If you’re looking for specific Beechcraft B95A Travel Air parts, now’s the time to reach out—these components won’t last long!

We expect to recover a long list of parts, such as....

· (x2) Lycoming IO-360-B1B

· Garmin GNS 430W GPS

· S-Tec 50 Auto Pilot

· Garmin GTX 345 Transponder

Cessna 177B Cardinal

We've just brought a Cessna 177B Cardinal into our shop for disassembly! This particular aircraft approached the runway a little to quickly. The airplane came to rest inverted, and the right wing and vertical stabilizer sustained some damage. Originally designed as a modern successor to the Cessna 172, the Cardinal introduced a sleek, strutless cantilever wing, improved aerodynamics, and a better pilot view with its steeply raked windshield. By 1970, Cessna refined the design into the 177B model, which featured a new wing airfoil, a constant-speed propeller, and a more powerful 180-horsepower Lycoming O-360 engine. These upgrades gave the Cardinal a higher cruise speed, increased takeoff weight, and better overall performance, making it a step up between the Skyhawk and Skylane in both speed and capability.

Unlike the Cessna 172, the 177B placed pilots ahead of the wing’s leading edge, providing unmatched upward visibility—great for scenic flying and aerial photography. With its smooth, forgiving handling after Cessna's stabilator modifications, the Cardinal became a favorite among pilots looking for a sportier, more refined ride. By 1978, Cessna even introduced a luxury version, the Cardinal Classic, featuring leather upholstery, a rear passenger table, and an upgraded electrical system—a true nod to high-end general aviation at the time.

As we begin the teardown process, we’ll be salvaging a great selection of quality parts, including engine components, avionics, flight controls, airframe sections, and interior elements. If you're looking for hard-to-find Cessna 177B parts, now is the time to contact us

We expect to recover a long list of parts, such as...

· Lycoming O-360-A1F6

Robinson R22 Mariner

We’ve just brought in a Robinson R22 Mariner for disassembly! The R22 Mariner is a unique variant of the R22 series, designed specifically for offshore operations with the addition of fixed floats for water landings. Known for its lightweight, simple design, and low operating costs, the R22 has been a go-to aircraft for flight training, personal use, and utility operations worldwide. With a two-bladed rotor system, direct push-rod controls, and a highly responsive feel, mastering the R22 prepares pilots for handling more advanced rotorcraft.

Originally certified in 1979, the R22 Mariner maintains the core elements of the R22 Beta series, including the Lycoming O-320-B2C engine, a teetering main rotor system, and an aerodynamic, lightweight fuselage made from fiberglass, aluminum, and steel tubing. Unlike standard R22 models, the Mariner features fixed flotation gear, allowing it to operate safely in marine environments. However, its floats limit it to daylight operations and slightly reduce performance due to added weight. While no longer in production, the R22 Mariner remains a sought-after model for pilots needing a compact, water-capable helicopter.

As we begin the disassembly process, we will be recovering a wide range of parts, including engine components, avionics, rotor systems, landing gear, and more. If you're in need of Robinson R22 Mariner parts, now’s the time to act! Stay tuned for more details as we break down this iconic, float-equipped helicopter!

We expect to recover a long list of parts, such as....

· Seats

· Cyclic Control Components

· Garmin GPS 400 IFR Approach GPS

· Gauges & Indicators

· And more!
