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.



American Airlines is the biggest airline in the world

American Airlines is considered the biggest airline in the world in
all categories but one. It leads the way when it comes to revenue ($41
billion in 2014/15), passengers carried (198,700,000 in 2016), fleet
size (1,556) and destinations served (350). Turkish Airlines outranks
it in terms of countries served.



As much as I hate AA, living right next
to its home hub (DFW airport) means we can fly
direct to almost anywhere in the world. Japan,
German, Australia. That is way handy.........
