Supercharged 340HP • 4-Seat Warbird • Short Field Legend
Own a one-of-a-kind, supercharged STOL monster with serious backcountry chops and military pedigree. This 1976 UTVA-66 (V-51) is an experimental, four-seat warbird built for rugged performance, now privately owned and actively flown. It boasts a 340HP supercharged engine, fixed slats, drooping ailerons, and an incredible STOL profile — regularly taking off and landing in under 400 feet, with a personal best of just 150 feet!
Cruising at 105–113 knots, climbing at 1,200–1,500 FPM with two onboard and full fuel, and topping out at 21,000 ft MSL, this aircraft blends warbird soul with real-world utility. It was even featured in EAA’s Sport Aviation Magazine!
