Good for you. I will put you on the list with the other 2 I know. Thats
three out of about 150.

The really good news for you is that you may still have a nice plane in ten
years, many of your peers planes will be facing a financially undesirable
restoration.

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.
