A little history listed below on the Challenger taken from From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
In 1962, Piper added the Cherokee 180 (PA-28-180) powered by a 180-horsepower (134-kW) ... In 1973, the Cherokee 180 was named the Cherokee Challenger, and had its fuselage lengthened slightly and its wings widened,
Looked like a great flight experience, beautiful weather and a nice scenic location to fly. Cook you get to fly in this nice little Piper as well!
Sorry I'm just now responding, I'm having a heck of a time getting my comments and or when I respond back it says Error :( Thank you very much for all of your support and have a great day :)
Very nice thanks for sharing
Your welcome and thank you for watching :)
Beautiful classic Piper and great in-flight views, especially 12:52. Liked and have a good week!
Thanks I had a great Flight. You have a good week also :)
Another gorgeous day for one of your flights Ed. You must stand in good with the Lord when it comes to weather! Lol Keep up the fantastic work (play) in the SoCal skies.
Yes we had perfect weather after one rainy week and thank the lord for a great day and thank you for your very nice comment and I hope to keep flying in the beautiful SoCal skies. Next Flight probably wont be until February 18th.
Ed Whisenant I did ride on the converted Thunderbitrd 53 DC3 over downtown LA the day after Christmas that is supposed to be at the Cable show. It was originally built in 1943 for paratrooper activities and was used to drop the 101st Airborne at Normandy and the 82nd Airborne in Operation Market Garden at Arnem. Great flight as the crew was both former Navy and first officer is current ANG 130 driver. I think it was $80. Worth the ride to fly in that piece of history if you get the opportunity. Enjoy!
Yes I agree it is well worth the money to fly in the DC-3, I flew in the Thunderbird DC-3 back in October 26, 2014 at the Wings, Wheels & Rotors Expo Los Alamitos Army Air Field in California. I know these guys and they are a great group of people. This DC-3 was at the Cable Airport Airshow and it is in immaculate condition as you know and I'm so happy that you got to fly in it.
Ed Whisenant that bird certainly did its part to help win the war. Hauling cargo, troops you name it from the Pacific, Atlantic and over the infamous HUMP in Burma.
I would have enjoyed this trip too Ed....Cheers....Steve.-:)
Yes you would have enjoyed it, this was a great flying aircraft. Thanks so much Steve and take care :)
