Bose,

The AAIB have criticised the vis of the Cessna range, for example it the case of the Tornado and the 152 over Wales. In a more modern low wing design it would have at least been possible to see the Tornado coming.

Uses for a Cessna 172 (generically, no ones personal aircraft you understand)

Hen house

Example of corrosion and its impact on structural integrity

A classic design icon in a museum

An example of how inefficient 1950’s design is compared to the current day

An example of truly appalling handling

A comparison between 1920 engine tec and how far we have come with the modern diesel version.

An example of a really bad investment as thay become more and more undesirable as the modern replacements take over.
