Looking at the majority of posts in this C172 thread, I swear I was reading an 'Auto Engine' forum.
I wonder if the 'Auto Engine Forum' are talking about that 60 year old, Classic sturdy Four seater, Cessna 172, that many a PPL and CPL has flown at one time in their past, (or present as they are still producing them). Might do a google search and check.
I did predict it though.
Carry on!
