Hmmm... I see your point, but I'm thinking numbers. The 172 is ubiquitous, over 37,000 produced....I mean what pilot do you know that HASN'T flown a 172? And as far as the flat four goes....I drive one everyday... (it's no Beetle either)

And Cessna 172's are the CIVICs of the skies, not the VDubs! Get it right!

No I haven't, thats why I want to check it out first before I go ahead and sign up for lessons. I am a little worried about how many things you have to be thinking of at the same time while flying. I imagine it's a million times harder than driving a car.

Wow, nice!
Not as impressive, but here some of mine....

My old noble steed, may she rest in peace....
Beechcraft Skipper, BE77, N3865D....circa 1999. I landed her on El Mirage dry lake bed in Southern Cali. Alas she was destroyed in a non-fatal crash two years ago involving a n00b student pilot.
I'm trying to upload some more, buy photochannel is being an asshat....
