 |
|
It was brought to my attention this weekend by an AV-8B Harrier driver
and soon to be U-2 Pilot (who, by the way reads everything on this list,
but is smart enough to never post anything... Right ANDY?) that there
was some version of the Cessna 172 that was used by the Air Force as a
primary flight trainer. Some conjecture that it had a 180 HP motor, and
some ended up in the hands of the Civil Air Patrol. Anyway ... Does
anyone know the actual designation?
Not only that, but amazingly enough one of Val's RV models... A "6" ???
Not sure, but one of them anyway.... There was a report in one of the
magazines that about a dozen (or more) of them were sold to some country
over in Africa (???) that was planning on using them for primary flight
training for their military? Anyone remember the details?
So, add a Cessna 172 and at least ONE of Val's models to the "warbird
list".
"So you built an RV"? So what?" ANSWER: NICE WARBIRD YOU GOT THERE!
There is a running bet on how many people would go BERSERK over this
posting, so please... Money is resting on the response.

I thought the military C172 was the T-41. Not totally positive on that but I
am on the Van's RV-6a. Sixty (60) of them got built and used as primary
trainers by the Nigerian Air Force. See:
