This 'Piper PA-22-135 Colt' airplane was captured by me in the air near Zeeland airport, The Netherlands.
It's the trainer version of the PA-22 Tri-Pacer. The Colt was available 1961-1964. The Colt is essentially a PA22 Tri-Pacer with the rear seats and windows removed, only one fuel tank in the left wing, no flaps and other detail changes that were implemented to reduce cost and complexity. An auxiliary fuel tank was available, of the same 18 US gallon capacity as the main tank, that could be installed in the right wing. Like the earlier Vagabond, the Colt features side-by-side seating for two, however the Vagabond has stick controls and the Colt has control wheels.

Very good shot of this colorful bird with all fine details Cornelius. 18 Gallons is the capacity a big car has. Nice to see this well kept plane still flying.

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
I wonder how many pilots learned how to fly in the Piper's SEA.
The colors are really good and I like how you suspended it in the air for all of us to enjoy.
Have a good weekend.

A nice image that brings back memories. My dad had a Colt and later the Tri-Pacer. I had many Saturday and Sunday flights in the Pipers.

We are unique in our own way. Just like every snowflake is. they are all still snowflakes. all of them together as a whole make up the snow. I world of imperfection to create perfection!
