I don't see many people out taking great care of their 30 plus year old
172's.


Well, you just aren't hanging around the right places, then.

My 67 Skyhawk gets the most meticulous care and pampering. There's nothing I
enjoy more (besides flying her) than spending a sunny afternoon washing and
polishing her. She's been detailed at annual, had new paint and glass, and
many, many new additions (beacon, strobes, transponder, Strikefinder, air
vents, Rosen sunshields, headrests, new yoke covers, on and on . . . )

Besides, I have no intention of selling her anyway--so that's not anything that
enters into any decision I make regarding her.
