1976 Piper Aztec PA-23F

The Piper PA-23F Aztec is a twin-engined light aircraft produced by Piper Aircraft. It is a six-seat, low-wing, twin-engine monoplane, powered by two Lycoming IO-540-K1G5 engines. It was introduced in 1970 and had a maximum speed of 212 knots (245mph) and a range of 1,350 nautical miles (1,560mi). It was equipped with retractable tricycle landing gear, and had a large cabin with seating for six people in a club configuration. It also featured large double cargo doors and a rear cargo compartment, making it a popular choice for corporate and charter operators. The PA-23F was the last of the Aztec variants, and was built until 1982, when production was stopped due to declining demand.
