Maybe he just really wants his elevator to always be in ground effect;-)

for comparison this is us taxiing out from my sister's place, the back brimmed with coolers of meat and jars of her husband's BBQ sauce. Near as can be to gross weight and aft CG.

I saw it taxi in live. My son asked what it was. I said I think it’s a Cherokee 6 but won’t bet money on it. And it’s even uglier live.

Now Larry’s Flying Service had a flock of Sixes that would launch each morning for the surrounding villages and stance such as that wasn’t that abnormal. My experience agrees with this! The example here is a bit extreme, but the posture is similar to that adopted by a Cherokee 6 at gross TO weight that I used to fly - while perfectly airworthy and legal! The PA32 is a great load hauler! I also attracted comments from uninformed pilots!

I was parked next to you on your right, I couldn't believe how far away from show center we ended up even though I arrived on Sunday at about 1pm! When I got there on Sunday the row was Aztec, Apache, Aztec(me), Aztec. Monday night when I got back from dinner, the Aztec to my right magically changed to a 310, and then Tuesday night the Apache on my left changed to a Baron, I was secretly hoping my plane would change to an areostar, but that didn't happen. :(

Here's the youtube video. It makes its appearance at 3:15. It occurred to me that the pilot really should be doing S turns to see ahead.

There is a very nice looking 56TC taxiing out just ahead of the taildragger Cherokee in that video! Bob

The Cirrus at 5 min or so is a little scary, esp what the left wheel does after final touchdown..

Looks pretty standard for a Cherokee 6. If I recall, if someone gets in the back first, it is real hard to get the nose back down.... unless you want to stab the brakes . It is about the same visibility as some tailwheels. (I might have 50 hours in a 6)
