I'm tipping that is one of the reasons that Soar is doing so well... close to new aircraft in very good condition, including GoPro's for recording important milestones such as first solo.
I was horrified when I did a TIF at 21 many years ago and saw the state of the smelly old 172 I was expected to spend so many hours in. I remember feeling unwell once and it was difficult to open the prehistoric airvent up near the wing root and I was wondering where this time capsule had come from.
