C172 Numero Uno

Was riding the Aircraftspruce shuttle van from the store back to Corona airfield today, got chatting to the guy next to me and he tells me he's flying C172 Serial number 1 !! Arrive back at the field and his beauty was parked next to me.

If you click on 'Go Advanced' next to the 'Post Quick Reply' button, the page will change slightly and you'll see a paperclip towards the top middle of the text box. This allows you to post multiple images.

Hope this was of assistance

Shame about the horrible jumble of wires and the tablet stuck on the yoke. I hope that isn't a headset hanging right by the compass.
On the plus side, the panel seems really well preserved, I wish later aircraft were as long-lasting. Interesting instrument layout...

Thanks for sharing. Look forward to the other pics.
