SLIDE SHOW COMPONENT

  • SLIDE SHOW COMPONENT

Overview

  • Seminoles continue to be one of the tamest, friendliest light twins ever built. Major aviation schools top the list of big-volume customers. The Seminole is designed with simplicity in mind. The fuselage and wings are virtual clones of Piper's Arrow single-engine retractable, which explains why some call the Seminole a "Twin Arrow." The flaps are mechanical, and are actuated by the same stone-simple floor-mounted hand lever used in scads of earlier Piper singles.
