1941 Ryan PT-22 Recruit

$AUD150,000

Price Reduced: This 1941 Ryan PT-22 Recruit is a beautifully preserved example of a classic military primary trainer, offering true warbird ownership with simple, honest flying characteristics. Originally built as a military training aircraft, the PT-22 played a key role in shaping a generation of pilots and remains one of the most accessible and rewarding vintage tailwheel aircraft to fly today.

Powered by a Kinner R-55 radial engine producing 160 horsepower, this aircraft delivers authentic open-cockpit flying with unmistakable sound and character. With a recent overhaul completed around 100 hours ago, electric start fitted, and strong maintenance history, this PT-22 presents as a well-sorted, ready-to-fly classic. Based in Romsey, Victoria, it’s an excellent opportunity for collectors, display flying, formation work, or weekend vintage flying.
