Aircraft Description
Experience the perfect blend of reliability, performance, and comfort in the skies. Our well-maintained Piper Cherokee offers a spacious cabin, making it ideal for both training missions and leisurely weekend getaways. Equipped with modern avionics and a responsive piston engine, this aircraft delivers a smooth and enjoyable flying experience for pilots of all levels.
N4566R has a special history with the flying club, as it was the first member of the High Sierra fleet. Romeo also well represents the sturdiness of Piper craftsmanship, being fully restored after spending many years forgotten on the ramp. You can read about the restoration process here, in a two part article series from the mechanic responsible for the restoration work: Part One and Part Two.
