I am shortly to buy a 172H and would like to hear from owners of their
experiences and any problems.


I have owned my 172-H for more than 5 years. I have never been happier and our
love affair continues passionately.

After hundreds of hours intimately connected by inertial shoulder harness,
headset, heartbeat, and soul, we have been all the way from Wichita to New
York, to and from Mt Rushmore, to and from Florida 3 times, and to and from
Atlanta once. We have been in the hottest hot, and the coldest cold. Day and
night, IFR, across water and mountains. We've touched down at airports from
Boston Logan to tiny grass strips in rural Iowa.

Most of our time is spent doing left turns around various sites within the
world's most exciting and exhilerating airspace . . . New York, where we take
pictures and earn our livelihood together.

I have spent lots of money on her. What is money for except to spend it on the
things you love?
