The old girl gets no respect.

First time landing my old 172 on my strip was today. All the years of flying TW aircraft from the property I finally decided to bring the old 172 in. 172's seem to get little attention but are fairly versatile airplane for all around use. I was full fuel and plopped her in fairly short without even trying hard. 34 years of owning it and I am going to be sad seeing it go. It's going to a younger owner who will hopefully enjoy it as much as I have.

Very nice apparent brisk walk rate of closure to touchdown slowly and softly in the beginning of the strip.
