Why are you counting only new-production Cessna 172s?


In order to get a somewhat valid comparison.

The numbers of both built are in the same ballpark and the ages are comparable
so the same percentage of both are likely still flying.

What about the other
26,000 Cessna 172s that are still flying?


Because no one knows how many of them are still flying.

If you had ever visited any real airports you would know there are lots of
airplanes that exist on the records but don't fly, or even exist anymore.
