Piper PA-32 Cherokee Six

General Aviation and Light Aircraft

The Piper PA-32 Cherokee Six is an American light aircraft built by Piper Aircraft, developed from the smaller PA-28 Cherokee family but built with a lengthened fuselage and a wider cabin seating up to six occupants, and introduced in the mid-1960s. Valued for its unusually large cabin volume and load-carrying capacity relative to other single-engine piston aircraft of its size, it found particular favor for charter operations, aerial survey and utility flying as well as personal cross-country travel by larger families.
