They are huge and have blinking lights and are in the sectionals. I like pa 28's. Fun to fly a pain to get in and out of


I like the PA28 too, did my single engine training in that aircraft.

When I was a student in central Texas there was a 1900 foot tall tower, which put it about 3000 msl, a few miles NW of us. I learned about that guy the first week of training.

Why only one door? Why isn't the only door on the pilot's side?

he old 92.3 radio station out of "Garyville" used to tout that they broadcasted from the highest structure in Louisiana.

Fixed it for ya.

Know as "The Tower of Power" when it was built. If I remember correctly they lowered the top section do to an engineering issue during construction.
