A little piece of history



While on one of our recent road trips, we got so see a little piece of history. This is a 1954 Piper Apache. The Apache was Pipers first all metal plane. It was also Pipers first twin engine model. It was also the first in a series to be named after an American Indian Tribe.
An awful lot of firsts for this plane. It is being restored by a man in Winterset.
I even got to sit in the pilots seat. I wonder what it was like in 1954.
