My Turbo Arrow IV from Colombia, South America with pictures

Hello friends, I've been a member for more than a year but I didn't dare to write before. I'm Carlos, from Colombia. I am a private pilot for 6 years and 5 years ago I bought a Turbo Arrow IV, year 1980. I am happy with my plane, I travel with my family everywhere, I have gone to Panama, Aruba, etc.. In Colombia the landscapes are spectacular and you can fly in mountains as well as in beautiful valleys and seas. Welcome to these lands. A big greeting to all the Piper community.

I started flying as a child at Culver Summer Schools in Indiana when they had aviation courses there. It was only when I turned forty that I decided to finish my aviation course. In 2013 I obtained my private pilot's license with the addition of instruments. During the course, a friend told me that there was a perfect plane for me, which I decided to buy and thank God everything has turned out perfect. I have flown all over the country and many times I fly over 12,500 ft. because in Colombia there are many mountainous areas. I invite you to visit our beautiful country.
