'.lOnQ', 14 rfJKil ^K^^^^*&2^ifcii THE PIPER SENECA IT REALLY IS, COMPARE IT TO A CES NOT THE CESSNA THAT COS $10,000 MORE. THE ONE THAT COSTS $60,000 MORE. Since the Cessna Skymaster is a push-pull and the Piper Seneca H isn't, there's no point at all in ' - comparing the two. The only Cessna that comes close to a $133,000 equipped Seneca is a $196,000 comparably equipped Turbo 310 R. But are we actually thinking of comparing a $133,000 airplane to one that costs $196,000? " ; - We certainly are. For $63,000 more, the Cessna gives you a cabin Js that seats six. The Seneca also seats six. And seats them in a space that's nearly two feet longer. For $63,000 more, the Cessna flies you 500 nauti- "• cal miles only 23 minutes quicker than the Seneca. But to arrive 23 minutes sooner, you burn 25 percent more fuel. i For $63,000 more, the Cessna takes you to a rare height — 27,400 feet. While the Seneca takes you to a , no less rare 25,000 feet. For $63,000 more, the Cessna lets you carry 1587 pounds of useful load. While the $63,000 less expen- ~ sive Seneca has a useful load limit of only 169 pounds less.
