Piper Cherokee Six

K2 Aviation flies one Piper Cherokee Six, a larger variant of the Piper Cherokee.  A low-wing aircraft with non-retractable landing gear, the Cherokee lands on wheels alone which makes it great for non-glacier landing flights. The Cherokee is our fastest single engine aircraft; it is the perfect flightseeing aircraft, and K2 Aviation’s owner Suzanne Rust says the Cherokee is her favorite aircraft!
