Yeah real sad....but the tail has been waggin' the dog for a long time
now.


The C-172A cost us ~25,000, plus all the annual costs, etc...

I recall that the FBO that I worked for in the early '70s paid $20K for
a new Cherokee 140 to use for instruction. They bought a new Warrior,
slightly better equipped, four years later for about $104K.

It certainly wasn't *that* much nicer, either.
