First learned to fly in a T-hawk in 1979. I liked that little plane, N2421K.

I love tomahawks.
Great photos as always.

I soloed and got my PP Cert in a Tommy. That's some good memories there.

Fun looking plane

Tomahawks and Skippers are two of the best-looking GA aircraft, IMO. They just look sharp.

I personally like the plane. If it it had only been built as originally designed with the low tail I can only imagine what an even better plane it could have been. I know a guy who was on the team at Piper and he has some interesting stories about those days.

Good old Traumahawk.

Nice pics as usual! Boy that takes me back to when I was young and immortal and my aviation roots.

Heh - I'm right there with you man. "Not sure what everyone's deal is - these things spin great!"

Great pics as usual Jack!

I owned one for 4-5 years. Really enjoyed flying it and made a number of long X/C's in it. Great visibility, plenty of elbow room, and a large baggage area.

Yes sir?

You’d look good owning one of those!

Definitely like the look of the TramaHawk for 2 seat trainer.

When I was training in the early 2000s, I thought pretty hard about a Tomahawk or, preferably, Skipper. Things changed when a local 172 became available.

Hey Bryan, Lets go halvsies in on a Tomahawk!

 

[flight2000]

Ahhh, memories. The first 53 hours in my logbook were all done in the PA38. None since though....

Great photos as usual.

Cheers,
Brian

I need a little more zip than what that can put out.

Plus, it won’t hold enough women.

N91372, I soloed this very same Tomahawk on 07/09/1989 at Lockhart. Both Joe and Louanne have given me my BFR's over the years. Great instructors

Don't see many of these around these days. I used to rent them from a Piper flight training unit in the mid-80s (less expensive than the Cherokee 180 when flying solo). I have about 50 spins in them. And lived to tell about it, LOL.

Jack, great pics, but we are missing the usual little write up about the owner(s) of the plane, etc?

Yeah, I was in a rush and didn't spend much time with them. There will be a page about them when the magazine article comes out!

You guys too, eh? I spun the heck out of one, over and over, in the mid-nineties.
