1961 Vintage Classic | 108 hp Lycoming | Two Seats | Relaxed, Affordable Flying

N243SA is a characterful 1961 Piper PA-22-108 Colt that brings a different kind of flying to the NWFG fleet. Previously registered in the UK as G-ARKR, this two-seat classic combines traditional Piper charm with a simple, hands-on flying experience. Powered by a 108 hp Lycoming O-235 engine, it is an appealing choice for local VFR flights, leisurely cross-country trips and affordable hour building.

Presented in silver and blue, with grey upholstery, distinctive Piper control wheels and a light-filled cabin, the Colt is full of period character. Its high-wing layout and glazed roof give the cockpit an open, airy feel, while side-by-side seating makes it a lovely aircraft for sharing the experience with a passenger.

Flying the Colt is not about getting somewhere quickly. It is about a genuine passion for aviation, taking your time and enjoying the view. For pilots who appreciate relaxed, unhurried flying, N243SA is the sort of aircraft that leaves you climbing out with a smile.

Ideal for:

Relaxed local VFR flying, scenic flights, vintage aircraft enthusiasts, leisurely cross-country trips and economical hour building.
