Description:

Wilco Aviation is delighted to present for sale this beautifully maintained and highly desirable Piper PA28-180 Cherokee, available exclusively through our brokerage.

Registered as G-CBMO, this particular aircraft is based at Teesside International Airport and can be viewed strictly by appointment. A fine example of the classic Cherokee line, it has been cherished throughout its life and represents an outstanding opportunity for a discerning private owner or enthusiast seeking a reliable, well-cared-for aircraft with an impressive pedigree.

The Piper PA28 Cherokee family is widely regarded as one of the most successful light aircraft series ever produced. Designed and built by Piper Aircraft, these versatile four-seat aeroplanes were created to serve a broad range of purposes – from private touring and air taxi operations to flight training and club flying.

Constructed entirely of metal, the PA28 features a low-wing configuration, tricycle undercarriage, and a single right-hand entry door, which is accessed conveniently by stepping onto the wing. Its stable handling characteristics, solid construction, and excellent visibility have made it a firm favourite among pilots worldwide for more than six decades.

Since the first model’s certification by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in 1960, the PA28 series has enjoyed uninterrupted production, a testament to its enduring design and dependability. In 1962, Piper introduced the Cherokee 180 (PA28-180), powered by the robust Lycoming O-360 engine, producing 180 horsepower (130 kW). This upgrade offered enhanced performance, making it more practical for comfortable four-person touring while maintaining impressive fuel efficiency and straightforward handling. In 1968, the model saw further refinements, including a redesigned cockpit that replaced the traditional push-pull throttle controls with modern quadrant-style levers, alongside the addition of a third side window for improved cabin light and visibility – features that helped define the Cherokee’s recognisable profile seen in later variants.

G-CBMO, built in 1968, carries these updates and embodies the timeless appeal of the Cherokee series. With a maximum take-off weight of 2,401 lbs (1,089 kg) and a useful load exceeding 800 lbs (379 kg), it offers excellent payload capacity for both passengers and luggage, making it perfectly suited for weekend getaways or cross-country touring.

Importantly, this aircraft has never been used for flight training and has remained in private ownership throughout its life, a rare distinction that contributes greatly to its exceptional condition. It has clearly benefited from careful handling and attentive maintenance. This provides valuable peace of mind for its next custodian, knowing that the aircraft is both mechanically sound and fully up to date.

In summary, G-CBMO represents an outstanding opportunity to acquire a classic, privately owned Cherokee 180 that combines traditional craftsmanship, proven reliability, and enduring performance. Viewings are welcomed by prior arrangement at Teesside – a chance to appreciate this aircraft’s superb condition and heritage firsthand.
