Two fellas spent almost two months in a teensy Cessna.

Is a C172 bigger than a C152? I took a try it out lesson in a C152 and was gobsmacked by just how small it was!!

Very good fun though!

Lol, ya, 172 can hold two passengers in the back. Bigger engine, better performance. I'd argue the 172 is your standard ASEL rating

I owned a 140...you talk about small space and slow...I can't even imagine that many days in 172...I'd go nuts! Great read thanks
