It could be argued that in June next year the Cessna 172 will be 70 years old?
After all the first 172 was just a Cessna 170B with a nose wheel and nothing more. After owning a beautiful Cessna 170A for many years and also instructing on Cessna 172's for many hundreds of hours there was little difference, even more the 170 was cleaner, shorter take and landings and the beautifully smooth and the C145 6 Cylinder motor ran like a switch watch. Did the addition of training wheels really justify a name change??
Hopefully this diatribe will get this thread back on Track? He He
