About the Piper Comanche

The Piper Comanche is the PA-24 — a fast, low-wing retractable single from the era before the Cherokee, with a 160+ kt cruise and big tanks that make it a genuine long-legged traveler. Pilots who fly Comanches tend to love them fiercely: they punch well above their fuel burn and cover distance with a refinement that belies their modest operating cost.

Production ended decades ago, so some parts are sourced through active type clubs and specialists rather than off the shelf — which is why so many Comanches are flown in partnerships with a shared maintenance kitty. A knowledgeable mechanic and a pooled parts fund make the airframe very manageable, and the group gets a remarkable amount of airplane for the money.
