N6888Y “8 Ball” - 1969 Piper Aztec
Introducing our 1969 Piper Aztec, affectionately known as "8 Ball," a unique aircraft with a rich and storied history. This classic aircraft, bearing the tail number N6888Y, once had a notorious past as a drug-running plane—flying under the radar, it traversed the skies for purposes far from the dreams of aviation enthusiasts.
However, its journey took a transformative turn when it was repurposed as a multi-engine flight trainer. Now, "8 Ball" serves as an essential component of our flight training program, providing students with invaluable hands-on experience in a stable and reliable platform. With its spacious cabin and twin-engine performance, "8 Ball" is the perfect aircraft for aspiring pilots to learn the fundamentals of multi-engine flying. Today, we celebrate the legacy of "8 Ball" not just as an aircraft, but as a symbol of redemption and the spirit of adventure that aviation embodies.
