Last flight recorded on Flightaware for the M20C in the advert was earlier this month, California to Utah. Still looks the same it appears

It is not the same livery but nonetheless it is still period. I really like the look of these aircraft in their period liveries.

There is a slight difference on the fuselage aft of the windows.

OK I’ll add some more from the Comanche (I have a lot of “flyers” and stuff).

This one is the last page from the prospect for the Comanche 260 (so not as early as the initial post here, but not yet with three rows of seats). It still involves the “personal” and “charming” aspect of a Comanche.

This one is the first page of the flyer for the then-new Comanche B and Twin Comanche B (also advertising for the first time the Turbo’ed TwinCo in the flyer, so the flyer must be from year 1965). This one is a lot more technical, emphasizing the payload (you see six adults in each aircraft), range, speed and so on. Practically only photos from flying aircraft. Photos on ground show the “roomy” aspects with the seating, the improved seats with flexible positioning and so on, not like in the earlier times.

@UdoR chapeau to the marketing team to find able adults to sit in the third row :)

It’s 113kg in total for the third row, so enough for a typical couple, isn’t it? Have a look yourself and don’t be so limited in only looking at that number…

By the way: Piper advertised the seats as “family seats”, I think in order not to sell it as child seats.

I’ve seen a lot of photos where you see 6 adults in a Comanche, be it single or twin. I’m not going to comment that in further details. It’s a time where you’ve put 10 in a car, if it fitted and everyone could breathe.

Well I got confused with the other pic. I would say it is substantially the same, with perhaps the minor difference you have pointed out.
