I have one of those with 150 hp – and i never flew it with three people in very high density altitudes, because then the performance is marginal.
But it’s right: the first Archers (-181 model) had the “Cherokee Archer” markings.

I wonder what could cause something like that but it does remind me of a density altitude/high temp performance accident of a ’180 a few years back here.
Well, we all know what caused it. The part between the yoke and the pilot’s seat.
Was this a departure or arrival accident?

I’d think that a Cherokee 180 / Archer would have quite a performance advantage over a 140/150 or Warrior in hot weather.
They also have a higher MTOM, so it would depend on loading.
