Anytime I am in a Pa 28 derivative, I identify myself, and expect to be

Even when I'm in an Arrow, and the identifier is a P28R, they still call
me cherokee.


Sometimes ATC converts my Comanche to a Cherokee. Usually then I get
handed off to someone who is surprised to see a Cherokee doing 160kts...

To make up for this I'm sometimes upgraded to "Twin Comanche".

Only rarely am I truncated to "Piper" in which case I follow suit.
