This 1984 Piper PA-28-161 Warrior II, owned by Purdue Pilots from West Lafayette, Indiana, came to us in its original paint—faded from decades of flight but steeped in rich history. Renowned as one of the most widely used training and touring aircraft, the Warrior II has guided countless pilots through the skies, earning a trusted place in aviation.

Today, it emerges with a bold new scheme: a crisp Matterhorn White base coat sets a classic, clean foundation, while Bud Red serves as the vivid primary color, and AAA Blue accents bring a lively burst of energy. Beyond its striking appearance, this fresh livery provides long-term protection against corrosion and wear, ensuring the Warrior II remains airworthy for years to come. It’s a perfect blend of tradition and revitalization—proof that with the right care, a truly great aircraft never stops soaring.
