This plane is very important to me for several reasons. First of all, its design and characteristics fascinate me, it is an airplane that I love. Furthermore, this Piper registration (LV-MJE) takes me back to my first experience on an airplane and the feeling of freedom I experienced when flying, since this is the one I flew on for the first time.
