New That's a good airplane
Decent performance; 4 place or 2 with luggage. It's the Ford Taurus of the skies. My dad's a part owner of a 172; built in 1957, IIRC.

I don't anticipate going beyond a private. But, I'm just starting, so who knows what I'll want 5 year from now.

New You'll want your instrument rating.
Unless you live in FL, CA, AZ, etc. where old man weather isn't a problem. Up here in Northern Indiana, I'd guess we have fewer VFC days than we do IMC. Having a "VFR only" ticket really restricts your flying up here.

The soul and substance of what customarily ranks as patriotism is moral cowardice and always has been...We have thrown away the most valuable asset we had-- the individual's right to oppose both flag and country when he (just he, by himself) believed them to be in the wrong. We have thrown it away; and with it all that was really respectable about that grotesque and laughable word, Patriotism.
