N3318Q has been a Northern California resident for nearly 20 years and is currently hangered in Auburn, CA (KAUN). The aircraft has had three previous owners, all from the same region. This is an exceptional airplane, known for its speed, comfort, and thorough documentation. The turbochargers ensure excellent performance on hot days. Airframe logs date back to 1966 and are available for review.

The current owner, who also owns and operates a maintenance facility here locally, has had his mechanics maintain this aircraft. He stepped up to a 421, which is why this aircraft is available for sale.

Thanks for looking!

I flew a 320E Skyknight many years ago. I was very impressed with its performance and comfort. The double paned cabin windows make for a very quiet ride (at least for a 570 hp light twin!). I think the TSIO-520 powered Skyknights are very under appreciated. And unlike many believe - it is not just a 310 with turbos. The 335/340 series were manufactured under the same TC as the 320. GLWS!

Sven, thank you for the kind words. You're right, the 320 seems to fly under everyone's radar. I agree it's under appreciated. What I love about the 320 are the turbo's and not having to worry about DA. We're located very close to Lake Tahoe, so getting up the hill or leaving isn't an issue with the 320, especially during the summer. For those that have never flown one, it's like a Cadillac, comfortable, powerful, and fast.

So does this one the turbo 470s or 520s?

320D was first year of TSIO-520 power

Current owner would like to open dialog with any intersted party.

Looks like a great plane and a great price.

Thank you Tod. It's been maintained and enjoyed. Time for a new home.

Owner needs the space. The 320 must go.

Daniel, nice plane; owned for years by a Youtuber named Jerry Wagner. Does he still own it? There's lots of great video!

Hi John,

It's had 3 owners since Jerry owned it, all known personally and all local to Auburn California. It's a nice airplane that needs a new home. The current owner has a 421 and a handful of other toys. He needs the hangar space for more projects and airplanes. It's priced to sell.

Current owner needs space for upcoming projects. He may consider a trade.

Owner asked me to update listing to open to offers.
