From The Archives: Piper Cherokee Six Offers Ease Of Handling, High Payload

In the issue dated May 24, 1965, we published a pilot report of Piper Aircraft Corp.'s PA-32-260 Cherokee Six, a six-place of the Cherokee series of aircraft.  

Read the full article on page 82 and see images showing the aircraft exterior, interior and the instrument panel in the cockpit. See also a three-view illustration showing dimensions.

Our pilot and writer, David A. Brown, confirmed that after flying the aircraft, it "performed well and exhibited good handling characteristics."

At the time of writing, the price of the Cherokee Six without avionics or interior was $19,000.
