Do I need to fly my plane to you?

No. We come to your ramp. If the airplane is flyable, one of our pilots will pick it up. If it isn't, we arrange ground transport at our expense.

Is the offer really cash?

Yes. 100% cash — wire transfer or cashier's check at closing, through a licensed aircraft title company. No financing contingencies.

Sell My Airplane for Cash | Cash4Planes — Veteran-Owned Aircraft Buyer

Why owners call us

Specific situations, specific solutions.

Some airplanes don't fit a typical broker listing. Yours might be exactly the kind we look for.

Lost medical?

Done with the FAA medical process — or just done flying. We've bought from plenty of pilots in your spot. Quiet, professional, fast.

Out of annual?

A year or two past due — the kind of thing that happens when life gets in the way. You don't need a fresh annual to talk to us. We make the offer on the airplane as it sits.

Inherited the plane?

Dad's 172. Grandpa's Warrior. We can help — we'll make sure your loved one's airplane is restored to its former glory and ends up in good hands. We handle title, FAA paperwork, and estate documentation.

Just ready to be done?

You haven't flown in a while. The hangar's still due every month. The next annual is looming and you've already made up your mind. We make it quick — one cash offer, escrow handles the paperwork, you walk away.

Different situation? Tell us about it — we've probably seen it.

What it actually looks like

That's Ally. On a real pickup, not a stock photo.

When we say "any condition," we mean it. That's my wife in the field on a recent buy. We've seen the engines, we've seen the hangars, we've seen the logbooks that end years ago. None of it surprises us.

If your airplane has been sitting and you're worried we'll be horrified — we won't. We'll be ready.

How it works

From first call to cash in the bank — three steps.

No back-and-forth listings. No 6-month broker contracts. No tire-kickers showing up to look at your hangar.

Tell us about your airplane.

Two-minute form or a phone call — your choice. Tail number, condition, and a few photos if you have them. That's enough to start.

We make a cash offer.

Usually within 24 hours. Direct conversation with a pilot, not a salesperson.

Close on your timeline.

Licensed escrow handles title and FAA dereg. We bring a check or wire the funds, pick up the airplane, and you're done. Most sales close in a week.

Aircraft we buy

Single-engine piston is our focus.

If it's a certified single with an N-number, there's a good chance we'll make an offer.

From the people we've helped

Real owners. Real closings. Real cash.

★★★★★

"The entire process was smooth, professional, and faster than I expected. I recently got hired at an airline and didn't have time to manage the annual or deal with listing the airplane myself, but Cash4Planes made it super easy. We were able to close remotely on my schedule, which was a huge help. Overall, a great experience. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone looking to sell their airplane quickly and hassle-free."

"Even though we didn't end up making a deal, the team at Cash for Planes especially Thomas was great to work with. They put in a lot of effort, stayed professional throughout, and really tried to make it happen, including going out of their way to contact others they knew who might be interested. 10/10 would recommend to anyone considering selling their aircraft."

FAQ

Questions sellers ask before they call us.

Will you buy my airplane if it's out of annual?

Yes — this is one of the most common situations we buy in. You don't need to put it back in annual just to sell it. The condition is reflected in our offer, but it doesn't change whether we'll make one. If it's been more than a couple years, send photos and we'll talk about it.

How fast can I get a cash offer?

Most sellers receive an initial offer within 24 hours of submitting their aircraft details. If you can send photos and the tail number up front, we're usually faster than that. We then close in days, not months.

Do I have to fly my plane to you?

No. We come to wherever the airplane sits. If it's flyable, one of our pilots picks it up. If it isn't, we arrange ground transport at our cost.

What if my logbooks are missing or incomplete?

We still buy. Missing logbooks affect price, not whether we'll make an offer. We've purchased aircraft with no logs at all. Bring what you have and we'll work with it.

Is it really cash, or am I taking your financing?

100% cash. Wire transfer or cashier's check at closing, handled through a licensed aircraft title company. There's no financing contingency that could fall through at the last minute.

What aircraft types do you buy?

Single-engine piston aircraft are our focus — Cessna, Piper, Beech, Mooney, Cirrus, Grumman, Lake, and most certified singles with an N-number. If you've got something different, ask — we'll be straight about whether we're the right buyer for it.

I inherited a plane. What documentation do I need?

Estate sales are common for us. You'll typically need letters testamentary or letters of administration showing you have authority to sell. The escrow company walks you through it. If the airplane has been parked for years and the registration lapsed, we still handle it.

How do you decide what to pay?

Every airplane is different. We look at the actual aircraft — logs, total time, equipment, condition, damage history — and put a number on it that works for both sides. If our number doesn't fit, we'll tell you what we'd ask for it elsewhere.

Who is Cash4Planes?

Thomas is an Air Force veteran with 15,000+ hours across gliders, seaplanes, and up to Boeing 737s. Ally is a CFI and A&P. You'll probably meet Doc too — our Doberman, who travels with us most places. We buy with our own funds — no committees, no investors.
