N906DS

The airframe bearing tail number N906DS is a 1969-built agricultural example of the Piper PA-25-235 Pawnee with manufacturer serial 25-4906. The airframe is registered in the United States as US and is configured in a single-seat agricultural cockpit intended for tow/sprayer operations. Ownership timeline and operator/home base information are Not published in the supplied data, and there are no published notable registry actions or formal valuation notes for this specific airframe. Condition highlights and market valuation are likewise Not published based solely on the provided dataset.

The cabin is a single-seat agricultural cockpit in a tow/sprayer configuration, with seating and controls optimized for agricultural application and banner-tow work rather than passenger transport. Specific avionics fit and panel equipment are Not published for this airframe; typical installations on similar Pawnees prioritize basic flight and mission radios, spray controls, and simple engine instrumentation. Mission profiles for N906DS would center on localized agricultural spraying sorties, aerial application runs, and occasional tow operations within a modest mission radius commensurate with a 260 nm range and 100 kts cruise speed. Maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect the demands of agricultural operations—frequent corrosion inspection and spray-system upkeep—though detailed maintenance history for this serial 25-4906 is Not published.

The Piper PA-25-235 Pawnee occupies a performance niche as a fixed-wing single-engine agricultural workhorse with straightforward handling and robust low-speed characteristics suitable for spraying and towing. Competing legacy models in the same market niche include other dedicated ag-aircraft and modified light singles adapted for agricultural roles; buyers typically prioritize airframe condition, engine hours, and spray-system integrity over luxury fit. Resale and maintenance considerations often hinge on usage intensity—airframes with prolonged agricultural duty require careful inspection—while the simple single-seat configuration of N906DS favors operators seeking a purpose-built spray/tow platform rather than multi-role flexibility.
