The AOPA Sweepstakes Husky features a full Garmin glass cockpit, including:
- G500 TXi touchscreen primary flight display/multifunction flight display with Engine Indication System
- GTN 750Xi GPS Navigator with Nav/Com
- GFC 500 3-axis digital autopilot
- G5 backup attitude indicator
- GTX 345R ADS-B In/Out transponder
The Husky will be on display at EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, from July 21-27, 2025. along with AOPA’s most recent sweepstakes Cessna 182, which will be given away in the coming weeks.
AOPA members are automatically entered to win the Husky. Entries will be accepted through 11:59 p.m. EDT on June 30, 2026.
The full list of rules and ways to earn additional entries can be found at AOPA.org/Sweeps.
Will the 25% gift tax to the lucky winner be paid bye AOPA?
unfortunately, the aircraft ran off the runway in Ohio and damaged the gear and wing…so, a ‘no-show’.
