A Pretty PA28 Archer G-SOBI

Featured Replies

Not really. :lol:  But while you're here take a look at a pretty PA28 Archer G-SOBI. Built in1976, it was registered as D-EAQL in a previous life. Spent some time operated by Northern Aviation / Cleveland Flying School. Where it is now I can't discover. From photographs taken in 2013 though, she is certainly pampered!

 

Real one:

Good one Ron - gotta hand it to you, you know how to get our attention!!

At least, a "naked" plane!!!   :lol:

 

Nah - it's got paint on!!!!

You're a brat Ron! I bet you've given countless forum moderators heart-attacks at first glance of the thread title  :P

 I really like the dark green on this paint. It's up on the library now for download: http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?DLID=&Name=&FileName=texture.g-sobi.zip&Author=&CatID=root

Extremely nice shots, but I can't quite see the naked lady - she must be lying down on the back seat.  Please provide some shots from a higher angle.  :rolleyes:

 Where it is now I can't discover.

 

G-INFO is showing it belonging to a guy in Sherburn, I'd assume she resides at EGCJ now. Lovely looking aircraft!

Well, seeing as:-

 

  • I took my first ever general aviation flight experience at Cleveland Flying School,
  • I live in the 'next village along from Sherburn', and 
  • I love PA28s...

 

....I'm loving this!   .... Is this for the Carenado PA28 Archer II, Ron? ....... I thought I was the only person in the world that still flies that plane in FSX.   :smile:

Nice paint Ron.  I flew an Archer IRL and it brings back memories.  Easy plane to fly, just watch the floating.

That's what I find in FSX. So the FDE can't be far off. Long take off and short landing distances? Does that sound right?

Well, for the short strips you're flying from it might feel a bit long on takeoff...LOL.  If I remember it was a bit over 2000 ft. takeoff roll...not that I was watching.  You'd float forever if your speed was 5-10 knots too high on final.  I flew out of N87, Robinsville, NJ which has a little less than 4300 ft and remember having to turn off at the end a couple of times.  i.e. "Get down!  Get down you beast!  What amazing ground effect...LOL."  Not bad in a crosswind with the low wing. 

 

I should add, I took my longest crosscountry in it...from NJ to St. Louis...about 1,000 miles each way.  Stopped at Rickenbacher in Ohio both ways for gas and barbeque.  On the way back I got a wx report from FSS that there was weather moving up from the south but it'd be fine.  Not so much.  When I got near Appalachia the clouds were from surface to above 11,000 (I'm a VFR pilot).  I landed at Arnold Palmer and spent two days at a cool old wooden hotel in Latrobe, PA at the foot of the mountains (home of Rolling Rock Beer) waiting for the weather to clear.  Really cool place.  The unexpected turns you sometimes take in life.  Fun times.
