Anyone know what a "Piper Aero" is?

STANDARD EQUIPPED LIST PRICE $323,850

Not a two seater, and not what's pictured in the article.

Dumm and dummer.

However, every so often there is good news like this report concerning
an accident here in North Florida yesterday where all that was
destroyed was some metal and plastic... instead of lives.

Good deal.

Anyone know what a "Piper Aero" is? The article says it has 2-seats, so
obviously not an "Aerostar".

Interesting. FAA registration database describes it as Piper PA-28R-201T, but
lists the engine as a "Mistral G-190". It's licensed as Experimental/Research
and Development, and is owned by Mistral Engines USA Inc. They're developing
rotary-engine aircraft powerplants. Swiss company, with a newly-opened office
in Florida.

Check the plane in the background...looks like an Arrow, and is probably the
aircraft that went down.

Experimental/R&D airplanes are generally prohibited from carrying non-crew, so I
suspect the company had to remove the back seats. Hence, the description (if
not the spelling :-) was correct...this was a two-seat Piper Arrow.

The reporter in the video said it was a Warrior.

About as often as they get non-aviation facts right.
