This 1977 Piper Cherokee 140 (N38477) presents a well-maintained example with notable upgrades, currently based at Stockton Metropolitan Airport (SCK). The airframe shows 14,275 total hours, while its Lycoming O-320-E3D engine boasts just 99 hours SMOH following a Penn Yan Aero overhaul in 2003, upgraded to 160 HP via RAM STC SE8987SW. The fixed-pitch Sensenich propeller has 511 hours since its 2003 overhaul. Recent maintenance includes new wing bolts, nose strut rebuild, and battery replacement in January 2025. The IFR-capable panel features a Bendix/King KX155 nav/com, KI209 VOR/LOC/GS indicator, and Garmin GTX327 transponder, though it lacks ADS-B out capability.

The aircraft carries a condition 6 exterior rating with white/black/blue trim (wheel pants excluded) and a condition 7 interior with blue vinyl seating and textured surfaces. Its useful load is 772.25 lbs with 50 gallons of usable fuel. Logbooks date to 1994 for airframe (starting at 9,867.8 hours), with engine records from the 2003 overhaul. A 1989 landing rollout incident resulted in skin and rib repairs. Current inspections show annual due February 2026 and IFR recertification due February 2027, with airworthiness confirmed. The aircraft's STC modifications include a composite spinner and Brackett air filter assembly.
