The most popular plane ever built is the Cessna 172 Skyhawk

The most popular plane ever built is not a commercial jetliner—it’s
the small Cessna 172 Skyhawk. The airplane seats just four and is
often used by student pilots. The United States Air Force and Army
also use a variant of the model to train recruits.


I loved tooling around in 172's. Stable,
easy to land, roomy enough even if it wasn't
terribly fast.


Took my first lessons in a 150 back in 1960s...prolly slower than a 172

Slightly slower, but again very stable
and predictable, just what a student needs.
Learning to fly is scary enough as it is
without having to handle a "hot" design...
