Meet the Piper Navajo Chieftain
Built for the kind of regional flying Lone Star was created to provide
The Piper Navajo Chieftain was created to serve remote regional communities around the world. With a cruising speed of approximately 175 to 205 knots (201 to 236 mph / 324 to 380 km/h), the Chieftain is a tried-and-true airframe built to do exactly what Lone Star needs it to do: get you where you need to be, quickly and efficiently.

The Chieftain is powered by two 350-horsepower turbocharged Lycoming engines, providing the performance demanded by regional operations across Alberta's landscape. From the Rockies to the Badlands, in sunshine, snow, ice, or rain, the Chieftain has earned deep respect through its service record.
Twin-engine configuration: Two independent powerplants provide 350 hp per engine.
Turbochargers provide engine performance at altitude.
Counter-rotating propellers provide improved handling characteristics, contributing to the reliability, comfort, and safety that make this airplane stand out.
