No - about 120. And I don't disagree with your assessment of their ability to deliver a safe carpet ride. But they are not exactly "Fun"

Which is the measure I'm using here. A 150/152 is more fun than a 172

and a Tiger more fun again

and an RV......

But we agree about that!

I agree completely. When I fly the 150, it's almost like having my own pair of wings. When I fly a 172, ...it's still really fun, but it feels like what it is. I am flying a large metal flying machine.

I'll settle for an F-5 (T-38). I love those that were flown by the VNAF.

It grates against my hide a bit to admit this, but I have gained much respect for the Cherokee 180. blush
