New to us eh! It’s still in the shop getting the final touches put on it but I was recently talked into getting a 172. It comes tricked out with skis, floats, big wheels, a big engine, a short take off and landing package and a sweet color scheme. All Jessie’s boyfriends at the hangar are quite jealous. Now we just have to go put some hours in it. But I think there’s one or two excited people around here…
Here we are almost finished with the annual maintenance.

We can’t all be serious pilots…

Introducing sweet pea.
welcome home sweet pea!
Su-weeet is right! Freaking awesome. You need some hours, come pick us up and bring us back!!!!
Jessie’s taking it out this weekend for the first time. Last weekend was supposed to be the first trip but the nitrogen didn’t stay in the front strut (or something like that). But, if the warm weather we’ve got sticks around maybe it won’t be this weekend after all. There was freezing rain today. Yuck! Fast skiing though.
Okay, she’s flown it and it’s sweet as the name. All kinds of power, just jumps off the ground at take off. So, once she’s comfortable and ready to expand the horizons a bit, I put in an early request for here:
