We long ago gave up saying "Pathfinder November five six niner nine
tree" -- all you get is a lot of "What's that?" from controllers. We
just say "Dakota five six niner niner tree" now, and they all get it.


According to the FAA registration database N56993 is assigned to a PA-28-235
manufactured in 1973. That would make it a Cherokee Charger, the PA-28-235
would be renamed Cherokee Pathfinder in 1974. The Dakota came along in 1979
as the PA-28-236 with the tapered wing.
