| Max Holste 1521M Broussard |
| Have you ever wanted to own/fly the legendary DeHavilland Beaver, the plane made famous by bush pilots in Alaska? Harrison Ford loved them so much that he bought one after filming "Six Days and Seven Nights". The Broussard is the answer to the mission of the DeHavilland Beaver, built specifically for the French military. They were manufactured to the highest standards of quality at the Avions factory in France. Everything used in its construction is mill spec. In fact, the skins are all painted internally before assembly to eliminate the problems associated with corrosion. When you open this plane up, the inside of the wings and fuselage look like they just left the factory last week. This is your chance to own one of the most practical warbirds available at only 1/4 of the price of a 10,000 hour Beaver. This beautiful Max Holste 1521M Broussard is in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition. It has a very nice military style Imron paint job and has been hangared ever since it was painted. We fly it regularly, but due to an expanding family we won't be able to make the fly-ins for the next few years. It has a six place utility interior in which the rear four seats can be quickly and easily removed without tools to reveal a flat cargo floor measuring 4' X 7'. The double cargo doors open up to 44" high by 48" wide! Power is from one of the most reliable radial engines ever built, the Pratt & Whitney R-985 450 HP nine cylinder radial swinging a Hamilton Standard two blade counterweight constant speed prop. The Broussard is a great aircraft for bush pilots needing a lot of cargo room, "Air America" types needing to start or counter an insurgency, or just making the local fly-ins. There is no need to leave any of the comforts of home behind when you have over 100 cubic feet of storage space available. Useful load is around 2000 pounds. Fuel capacity is close to 120 gallons and consumption is 20gph at a normal cruise of 120mph. Visibility is great, and ground handling is excellent. The STOL capabilities are good and it is a lot of fun to fly. It is also quite easy to maintain. Any shop with general aviation experience will be able to handle the maintenance of this aircraft. This Broussard is registered in the experimental/exhibition category (as are almost all warbirds). This particular aircraft is considered "pre-moratorium" and therefore doesn't require an annual program letter and also does not have any geographic restrictions. The logs go back to include its military history, and may be quite interesting to anyone able to read French. There is a huge spares package included with this aircraft. See the spares list below. Please feel free to call (252-426-9676) or email (cduster@inteliport.com) to discuss this wonderful aircraft, or make arrangements to drop by and see it in our hangar (located at 86NC in North Eastern NC).
