1969 Piper Cherokee 140


Today I wanted to start sharing my adventures in aviation. I am in the process of getting my private pilots license. I purchased N-50YR in August of 2016.

This aircraft was EAA's 50th year sweepstakes give away in 2005. EAA completely refurbished the aircraft from top to bottom, inside and out.
It has over 35 STC's for speed mods and other upgrades.

I didn't win this airplane.  I purchased it from a broker who was selling it for the winner. He kept up with the annuals but only put on 50 hours of tach time in the 10 years he had it.

I look forward to having you follow along in my adventures and please post your comments and let me know if you have any questions.
