This is my first post here. I see that photo--and read some of your comments--and I am taken back 40-45 years. What a twisty road it has been, but I wouldn't have missed a turn. I started in 150's and 172's and have ended up flying just about everything from there to (now) the 777. I even got to fly the NASA Shuttle trainer, P-51's, B-25's, Howards and all the corprorate jets. But the days of the 172 were actually the best. 'Rosebud.......'
Enjoy the ride guys.
