I own and have flown an 85hp Tcraft the last 5 years but bought a new bird last weekend, a '69 172/180. I told my wife that I never thought I would own a 172 because they are the Camary of airplanes. She suggested that with the O-360 maybe it was more of an Avalon. I said with the 1,100lb useful it was more of a minivan. When I got home from the airport after bringing her home, my humorous wife left this for me on the door. So apparently she is now name Astro.

In all seriousness though, it's an awesome plane and fits the mission perfectly.

Name it Bob

"Astro" for the win, Stu.

Astro…Chicken

So during a simulated engine failure it would be….. astroglide?

I'll take astroglide over astrolawndart...

It’ll earn its own name, give it a few weeks or months. My old Stinson I named Gramps. Even though it was completely rebuilt, the Maroon color looked like what Some old Grandpa would wear.
