Piper PA-28 Cherokee 140
Aircraft Overview:
The Piper Cherokee 140 was purchased in 1997 to satisfy the demand for a 4 seat aircraft for pleasure flights and international travel. The Cherokee is a pleasant aircraft to fly and is an excellent next step for those pilots that want to fly something a little more complex than the Cessna 150 or are thinking of advancing to a multi-engine rating.
