The State of Indiana’s 2001 Beechcraft Super King Air B200 twin turbine aircraft sold on Jan. 30 for $1,834,000, which was $134,000 beyond the asking price of $1.7 million. The King Air was purchased by American Aviation from Brooksville, Florida. Payment for the plane has been received in full, and the new owners took possession on Feb. 6.
Upon advertisement of the plane’s sale in mid-December 2013, general interest included approximately 25 calls and e-mails. Upon the deadline for sealed bids mid-afternoon on January 30, three bids in total were received from Florida, Mississippi and Alberta, Canada.
The State plans to use funds received from the sale to help support public safety duties of the Indiana State Police.
