Taken from near our table on the patio at the airport. I sent a photo to my former student whose husband is now a commercial pilot, after graduating from the University’s aviation flight program. She replied, “I’ll have to ask Scott if he remembers that tail number.”
I responded, “Pilots remember tail numbers on their trainers?”
She replied, “Yes! Yes, they do! First solos and checkrides are big deals!”
You may notice that the window of the plane is pushed out on this side. The instructor in the right seat saw me taking photos and waved. :)

Is this a Cessna 172?
I trained on a Cessna 150 which looks similar but has only 2 seats instead of 4. I remember its tail number and we called it Zoulou Golf. Although I didn't become a professional pilot I still love airplanes!
@corinnec It *is* a 172. Check out this link, provided by my former student, https://www.flightaware.com/live/flight/N5327V
If you scroll down, you’ll find this photo’s 08/22 flight, and under “Aircraft Details” you'll find “Aircraft Type • Cessna Skyhawk (piston-single) (C172)”! :)
@corinnec I stopped doing Facebook & Instagram a few years ago — 365 is my community. I ❤️ these exchanges in the comments of posts and learning things about fellow 365ers!
