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.

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.

From 1955?

Haha TOO - that's the headset hanging OFF of the compass I believe!!

Very well preserved! :)
