89P is a very special aircraft. I have had the honor of flying and tending to her for the last 20 years, and now I am seeking her next steward. Beautiful, honest, and reliable, you can expect that she will carry her 1200 lb useful load at 155 knots on 13.5 gallons per hour - all in style and comfort.

About the Piper Comanche
The Piper Comanche (PA-24) is a classic, fast, retractable-gear single — produced 1957-1972 with 180, 250, 260 and 400 hp variants on the same low-wing airframe. The 260 hp Comanche cruises near 160 knots; the rare 400 hp Comanche is one of the fastest piston singles of its era. The Comanche has a devoted owner community and is regarded as one of the best-handling singles of its generation.
