The 172 will do just fine until the opportunity to upgrade comes along
Hey there Nivo! Just giving ya chain a bit of a jerk! Don't tell anyone, but I probably still have more time in the C172 than any other type. Have flown a couple of near new ones recently - quite impressive. Another one came out of the container the other day (along with a nice looking C170) - I will probably test fly it as well.
That is still a good trip in a C172!
