Yes, it
really made me sick to be paying $99/hr to go flying when I have a plane.
Especially in a 172. However, I have to admit... It was a brand new
2003 172SP and I really enjoyed flying it. Plenty of room,
comfortable, climbed out OK, quiet, secure, tested, everything
worked. I really hate to say it, but it was a pleasant change from
the experimental nature of experimental aviation. (cant believe I typed
that).
