Seriously the ultimate airplane. A child could fly it. Sometimes they do.

Criticizing not changing the design is like wondering why your soup spoon doesnt have a computer-guided laser sight. Sometimes a design just works and has been figured out.

I would argue whether the 172 or the 150/152 trained more pilots, but stepping up to it from a 150 was like the day I went from a PA28 to a PA32-300. WOW! Got my instrument ticket in a 172... single nav-com with glideslope and an ADF. Things were sure simple in the 60s. Hey, you take us for lots of rides in things that go higher, faster and further. Now, you show me my 'real dream' of flying... Low and Slow, and look out the windows to navigate! Thanks Rick! I enjoyed today's

It was always fun to get it into slow flight and fly it backwards. Also, recovered on it's own from incipient spins, just really gentle to fly. Great for teaching wing down, top rudder in crosswinds. All round winner to learn basic flying technique.

When I started almost 30 years ago now, we flew those late 70’s, (77-79) 152’s and 172’s. The new ones, although they look essentially the same, are so much more well built and better airplanes than those of 45 years ago.

New airplane prices are absolutely insane

Thanks for the memories Rich. My dad was a Piper/Cessna dealer in Spokane Washington back in the 60's and 70, s. I learned to fly in a Cherokee 180, a 172, and a Cessna 182. My best landings were always in the Cherokee. When he decided to sell the business he suggested that me and my brother who was also flying might want to by one of the many new aircraft we had in stock at the time. My cost for a basically new Cessna 182 in 1975 was around 25k if I remember correctly. Boy have things changed. I was a sophomore in college and decided to pass. OPPS...My grandfather was also a Chrysler Plymouth Imperial dealer and I could of bought Hemi Cuda's at cost knew😫

Nice flight, the interior looks great.

I just did my discovery flight a couple hours ago. This was the one we flew in. Got to take off and because it was windy, it made us feel like we were free falling. Didn't really like that feeling too much, but the experience was unlike anything I've ever experienced. Haven't been in an airplane in about 15 years and I'm nervous of heights, so it felt good to crush that fear.

[robtebay]

I was expecting a 60° turn then! Always love your videos, Rich. They're informative and interesting. I'm going to buy another lottery ticket, just in case!

[skaytv]

I love that they still made it with the classic yoke rather than the joy stick

[philipgledhill]

"What a treat to Fly" great airplane..thanks for sharing the video.

[georgej]

Love the 172. Docile aircraft and If you accidentally enter a spin they recover very easily as well. I wonder if the new engines are as indestructible as the old O320. Great vid, keep em coming!

[peternelson]

Always enjoy your anecdotes Rich, entertaining and informative, cheers, best wishes for the Holiday season.

Great video Rich. The first airplane I ever flew was a Skyhawk back in 1980. I now own that same airplane - a 1962 172C Skyhawk, the last year before the "Omnivision back window" you mentioned. I agree, there's nothing better for learning to fly. Happy Holidays.
