    That’s a 160hp C172 with Aspen PFD, G5, and a 530W. Had a small electrical fire in it over Cotulla a few months ago, then it went down for a broken motor mount for a month or so. The motor is about 1200hrs past overhaul with no top end work in the log books. It’s really clean inside/out and part of the school’s rental fleet. I hadn’t flown it in a while and it was available. Forgot how slow that thing is.

    Other than that, it’s a great plane to fly.
    Sounds like it's due for some TLC. I do enjoy some of those slower single engine planes. My favorite one I've flown was a 152 aerobat

    Years ago, on another, possibly defunct, forum, one of the older members mentioned putting a "tag" or "mark" on a page I wished to return to. And if I put my "mark/tag" on it in a particular spot, it would take directly to that particular spot in that conversation, or thread. At the time of my membership in the aforementioned forum, that was the only reasonable way for you to mark that thread without actually typing in a reply. So I still do so.

    This is a new to us plane and it’s getting flown a lot.

    The owner (it’s a lease back) has a factory reman on order, and we expect it to be here in a few weeks. Other than that, it’s in really good condition and it’s a joy to fly. New paint, new interior, and a great panel with no vacuum system, what’s not to like? I don’t think the owner has plans to add an auto pilot, but that’s all it would need to qualify as a TAA and open it up to commercial students.

    I just spend most of my time in SR-22s since I don’t instruct, but that’s in my five year plan.

    Damn I'm jealous! Awesome.

    How are you and the fam doing?


    Doing good, mama went & got a test today...should have results back tomorrow. The kids only had allergie type symptoms. They've been acting like nothing happened.

    I wouldn't be too jealous...its been like glampimg everyday...lol. Not to mention ammo prices & availability, have had me not shooting near as much as id like to be. Ive been running a mag or two every couple of weeks. But not 100s of rounds id like to be shooting.

    Definitely sounds like a nice plane. I'm sure it's a joy. The SR-22 is a joy to fly, but I've spent a lot of time working on and flying Cessna and Piper aircraft. They're thoroughly good planes. SR-22 are fun to fly but suck to work on, haha. Another nice aircraft that is fun to fly is a Mooney. Fast suckers.

    You want speed, you want a Bonanza. Check out this baby I clocked on FlightRadar the other day (okay, the ground speed shown is likely a glitch. It was showing 0 knots when I first started tracking it. Unless it was in an inverted flat spin, I don't think so):

    Glitch in the matrix made it rubber band and super speed to catch up to the actual known position
