This isn't a flight school airplane pressed into rental service. The Piper Dakota was selected because it's the right machine for serious cross-country flying — 235 horses, real useful load, and the kind of range that earns its fuel cost on every leg. We maintain it to the same standard we train in it: airworthy isn't the bar, it's the floor.
