There are a lot of Cherokees flying, and they are honest airplanes for
a reasonable price. There is a superb support group (Cherokee Pilots
Assn) and parts are readily available plus it's not hard to find
mechanics that know how to maintain them.


I've got a '69 180. Whenever anyone asks about it, I describe it as
a flying Buick.

Everyone knows how to fix it.
Parts are reasily available.
Good IFR platform.
Good VFR and IFR learning aircraft
Unless you do something *really* stupid, you'll live thru almost
landing (intended or otherwise)
It's not a sportscar, not really spiffy
Most of the one-time ADs have already been taken care of.

Sounds just like a Buick.

On the other hand, to a non-pilot, owning *any* airplane is impressive!
