22 yrs ago my career took us away from our hometown & families. Seven hours driving one way 4-5 times a year for holidays & events? There has to be a better way!
There is! 12 years ago I bought into a 1979 Piper Cherokee Six and it changed our family's life. I’ll explain why the PA-32 platform was perfect for our primary mission, show you the cost per hour to operate, and argue why the Cherokee Six is best family hauler out there. A roomy & comfortable 6 place cabin, lean 15 gph fuel burn @140 kts average airspeed and roughly a 6 hr range that won’t break the bank to operate meaning, the Cherokee Six is essentially a minivan with wings!
Plus where else can you get views of your hometown like this? We fly the “Arch Tour” arrival into St. Louis, hugging the riverfront low & slow for some up close & personal views of Mr. Saarinen’s masterpiece +other famous St. Louis landmarks before arriving a Spirit of St. Louis airport (KSUS) for Thanksgiving at Grandma’s house. HUGE Shout-out and thanks to StL APP for accommodating our request and making it easy for us in such busy airspace.
