History & design
A Pacer returns to Lock Haven
Piper Aviation Museum published Ed Becerra's account of N7413K, a 1950 PA-20 whose first flight was on 17 June that year. Becerra and his wife bought it in 2019 and later flew it back to Lock Haven, where Piper built it. Their update added ADS-B to an otherwise maintained example; the dates and equipment concern that individual aircraft.

Pilot accounts
Travelling with a family Pacer
Becerra recalls collecting N7413K from St. Joseph, Missouri after buying it in 2019. He and his wife subsequently used it for trips around Wisconsin with their dog, including a project to visit every public-use airport in the state. Returning to Lock Haven connected those journeys with the aircraft's factory origins.
