In 1967, The Piper Arrow 180 hp aircraft was introduced to the market. It was also referred to as the PA-28R-180 model. It certainly served its purpose as a light aircraft at the time. However, it never really lasted long on the market. In 1969, the Piper Arrow 180 hp aircraft was quickly replaced by the 200 hp version known as the PA-28R-200. Shortly after introduction of this model, the 180 was dropped after 1971. In 1972, the Piper Arrow II was manufactured, providing a 5 inch fuselage stretch compared to previous models. The increased fuselage space allowed for more leg room for passengers as well as greater baggage capacity. Of course, this was very pleasing news for customers!
