The Piper PA-28-180 Archer is a four-seat, single-engine, low-wing aircraft made by the Piper Aircraft Company. First flown in 1960, the 180 horsepower Lycoming engine and fixed-pitch propellor make the Archer one of the more powerful aircraft in the PA-28 family.

The C23 Sundowner is a single engined, low wing aircraft that was produced by Beechcraft as an alternative to the early model Bonanza. It is a member of the Beechcraft Muskateer family of aircraft.
