Aircraft Information

To date I have piloted three different types aircraft. The Piper Warrior II, Piper Archer, and a couple of hours in a Cessna 150. The Warrior II and Archer essentially look and handle identically. The main difference is an additional 20hp in the Archer. The Archer is a treat to fly and it will always be special to me as I flew my first solo in one (registration C-GGMT). Since I have spent roughly 80% of my flights in a Warrior, I will show you some pictures and give you some information about the aircraft.
