My dad and I bought a 1965 Cherokee 140! I am really hoping to do my Instrument Rating in it, but most importantly build some solid VFR hours.
We really wanted a Cherokee 180, but this was a really nice airplane all around. If we fly enough we will probably end up with a Mooney or a Vans RV9-A in a few years, but I think this will be a good plane for now. I just got my PPL in June and only have 59 hours so this should be a great plane to just build some time in. It will be hangared at Deer Valley.
Flew 1.5 hours in it today (never flown a Cherokee before this just a 172). I thought it would be really awkward having the manual flaps and the trim wheel on the ceiling, but it was second nature once I used it a few times. Also got to see a bunch of Apache helicopters and a Chinook fly in to Goodyear (before we flew it to Deer Valley)!
I forgot to take interior photos, but it is a very nice tan leather - looks great! Anyways, hope you guys enjoy the pictures!
