The Pitcairn PA-3 Orowing is an early Pitcairn biplane designed for light commercial use in the early 1920s when aircraft production rates did not meet demand for airmail, training, and passenger aircraft.

Pitcairn purchased surplus Curtiss Oriole wings and mated them to production fuselages.

[3] The three place Biplane was made of welded steel tube fuselage with an OX-5 engine.

[4][5] Most Orrowing production was sold to Pitcairn Aviation for flight training and charters.

An Orowing flew in the 1926 Ford National Reliability Air Tour.
