Silverhawk Aviation Academy is selling our dependable 1998 GMC C6500 Jet-A refueler, in
active service on our flight line at KEUL. It's being sold solely because we recently upgraded to
a newer jet truck — not because of any issue with the unit. Honest wear and tear, professionally
maintained, and it drives great and fuels exceptionally.
