PH-VHN is 1970's vintage C 172 with a lycoming engine. You can tell from the square rear side windows, the fairing over the tubular main gear and the fat exhaust pipe out the right side of the cowling. (The Contintental 0 300 engine powered ones had oval side windows, unfaired flat main gear springs and two small exhaust pipes on the bottom of the cowl). It also has the 1973 factory paint scheme.
