Like I said, they're not popular, but they are out there.

John,

Clayton Scott pulled out the FIRST Aztec Nomad in 1965. He built it for my
friend Jack Murdoch, who had just sold $55,000,000 of Tektronix stock. Jack
funded the project and also owned the Piper distributorship for the West.

I was able to fly the "Nomad" extensively in the late 60's until Jack died
in a Super Cub. There is little comparison of the Aztec and the Cherokee.
One has a proud history and the other is a pretty good trainer gone bad.

Best,
Karl
