WDN's new colour scheme is loosely based on a cartoon version of the early war US Navy Wildcat's scheme

It's quite common with the PA-32s. There's loads of pics on JP of them with their ass nearly touching the ground.Christopher wrote: Fri Nov 08, 2024 11:39 pm <Piper PA-32 Cherokee Six ZS-EXY> looks really heavily-laden to my eyes, Bruce.

I flew heavy loads in its cousin (-EXG) for over a year and never saw the aircraft <that> low to the ground!
