I have recently become the proud owner of a 1956 Cessna 172. 1956 was the very first model year of the best selling aircraft of all time. The "straight tail" has a classic look and this particular airplane is no exception. I was so excited for the opportunity to own my very own airplane that I signed this deal before ever even flying it. Join me on a brief walk around and fly along as I take the controls for the first time.
