Had to do a check flight in a fairly recent model 172 recently. Glass panel an' all!
I would describe it as a "Lady of the skies!'
(Or a Gentlemen's conveyance!
)
Mein Gott!! If you got into trouble in one of those you had stuffed up badly.
Then again, if you can fly a Seneca 1 (makes sign to ward off evil eye, throws salt over shoulder, crosses myself etc) you can fly anything!!
