When you first come across the Piper Archer II your first impression is that this is one sexy aircraft. Trumped only by its Jet engine counter parts this aircraft sports an intriguing punch when flown. This one engine piston controlled aircraft was designed originally for training people to fly, taking people from one place to another (air taxi essentially) and for personal uses. Many of these were used for giving tours of a new city or showing people the joys of flying in a light aircraft. The value of the Piper lines of aircraft are alot like the Lexus car in that they sport a good track record and resale value!
