Kevin I revalidated my MEP in a 1959 PA23 over twenty years ago. It is so nice to see your example in such good condition. They fly beautifully and are very good tourers. I operated an Aztec for many years (needed the FIKI), but must confess the Apache flies nicer, and the helicopter like cockpit visibility is wonderful.

WOW awesome Apache. Original 150 hp or the 180 hp upgrade?
They also had a model 235 hp forerunner to the Aztec.
