Much less a new one. I also can't recall ever having 4 people in a 172.

I’m currently right at about 630TT with about 335 hours of that as dual given in the 172.
I don’t think I’ve ever had 4 people in one either. Lol The only real way to get 4 is if you stick two kids back there, otherwise you’d be running on fumes just to take off under max weight. Haha
They’re nice, we have a fleet of about 20 Skyhawks and the oldest one is a 2010. All have the g1000 glass cockpit too.
Fun story - recently I went to Dulles with a student and on the way back we went to hot springs airport KHSP which is about 4,000’ up on the top of a little mountain in a mountainous area. It was dark right after departing Dulles and about halfway there ATC told us there was a V22 (Osprey) doing something low altitude over the airport. When we got closer, we started talking to them on the radios and they were doing pattern work with no exterior lights and all the airport lights off practicing pattern work with vertical takeoff and landings in the grass next to the runway! They let us turn the runway lights on and we landed while they were in the grass with engines running and you couldn’t see anything. I assume they were practicing flying with night vision goggles. One of the coolest things I’ve seen so far.
Tank update!
Bubble tip is in. I caught it trying to escape the net earlier. The hermits haven’t tried crawling out, no snail seizures, all the coral in the new tank look really good so I placed the rbta in a predetermined hole in the rock work.
I’m going to start transferring everything this weekend.
I’m also on the hunt for a used radion xr30 g3 pro and a reeflink instead of the black box. Gotta find a good deal on one somewhere. Lol
Went to Lowe’s yesterday with plans to build the light mount, but left empty handed and disappointed after getting there realizing what I wanted was too expensive and flimsy to be worth it..
Side note: I just realized the other day the pictures I’ve been posting, after photobucket bent me over its knee, aren’t as clear as they are on my phone. Lol
I’ve been lazy and just been using the Tapatalk app image uploader since its extremely convenient. That’s not going to cut it anymore! Going to try and find another easy mobile way to do it without losing image quality..
