US Preselection for September 2013



US aviation:  the Cessna 172.  A small, unspectacular and likely familiar aircraft, the Cessna 172 is not extraordinary for its high performance.   The Cessna 172 has however earned a place in history, and been a part of so many events because of its dependability, utility and excellent handling.  As a result, when other planes have come and gone, the humble Cessna remains.  When someone needs a dependable small plane for most any task, the Cessna has been there, and the Cessna has thus continued in production since 1955, even to the current day, and the Cessna is now the most produced airplane of any type in the world, with more than 43,000 delivered.  If you have ever taken a flight there is an excellent chance that your pilot started on the Cessna 172.
