1968 Piper Cherokee 160
| Overview | |
|
This beautiful Cherokee 140/160 was the EAA Sweepstakes Prize for 2001/2002 and is back up for sale after a year as a successful time builder! Always hangar kept with a pristine engine (78/79 compressions). She really is the ideal no-fuss time builder and has been a cross country machine all while being meticulously maintained, pampered, and polished. I bought this plane February of 2024 to finish building time for the airlines. With my post-military life and uncertainty of airline hiring, I came to the decision to part with this beautiful airplane. This plane has been as fun as she has been reliable and I'm hopeful her next owners will have as much fun as I did flying her! Truly a no nonsense turn key Cherokee with enough power to load up the golf clubs and fly anywhere you need to go. |
