Piper PA-38 Tomahawk Trainer Onsie

The Piper PA-38 Tomahawk, a marvel of general aviation, soared into the skies as a two-seat, fixed-tricycle gear aircraft primarily designed for flight training and personal use. First taking flight in the late 1970s, the Tomahawk was Piper's answer to the training market, competing directly with other trainers like the Cessna 150/152 series. With its distinctive T-tail and a production run from 1978 to 1982, the Tomahawk has trained countless pilots with its unique handling characteristics. Known for its 'Hershey bar' wing design, the aircraft offers a realistic experience in stall and spin training, making it a favorite among flight schools. Despite its relatively short production span, the Tomahawk remains a beloved aircraft for its reliability, cost-effectiveness, and the role it has played in shaping the pilots of yesterday and today.
