Very cool! Don't see many of these around.

I'm the guy that had a tree fall on his plane and total it less than 2 weeks before an around the U.S. adventure. I has a 1956 C172 that I'd worked on a bunch getting it ready to go. This is what I got to replace it, another 1956 C172, Horton Stol, A&P/IA owned and hangared last 10 years. On the grass at 1C3. Hoping to do the same trip this coming summer. I know, the wheel pants have got to go.

cstolaircraft, nice find. You're going to have a lot of fun with that Tcraft. Let's see some more pictures.

Very nice looking plane and what's really neat is you're from Norway. Some of my relatives came from Strand.

Thank's. Not many Norwegians here i believe.

1969 Cessna 172K (Valor Red)

This is the plane I soloed in, and then bought a few years later. It is now my child.

To my knowledge, that's the original exterior. The engine is pretty well original, too. Not sure on the prop, though.

I don't know, they are kind of spiffy and if I they stayed on through my landings they should survive most everything else.
Happy new year everyone!

Mexican Mountain, Utah this November.

This is probably already posted somewhere on this 42-page-long thread, but here's me in my 180 in flight.

I am sure I posted in here somewhere as well...but here is my PA22 on a lake with a pal.

I've seen some great looking aircraft over the past 42 pages of this thread, so I thought I'd throw in a pic of my 52' 170b

Hula Girl in Iowa this past fall.

Thanks Troy. Congrats on the CFI. Hope to run into you again one day, maybe up your way next time.

Our very best wishes to you and yours for a happy new year.
