If you want to win a 172, buy something from Sporty's. People who can't
afford the taxes on the Waco are not much better off with a 172 costing
3/4ths the amount. Since it will be sold by these types of winners, the
more valuable the better.

Every plane AOPA and Sporty's has given away has been sold by the winner
within a few months of winning it. That 206 SUV that AOPA gave away a
few years ago was here in Montana, flown in by the guy who bought it
from the winner. Nice looking plane.
