Air-to-Air Cessna 172N with BRS (Not Pulled!)

[Lowflynjack]

Shot this interesting 172N. It has had some interesting mods, including AOA, Radar, & Penn Yan Aero's 180HP SuperHawk STC. My friend Glenn was flying it for me from the right seat as the 90 year-old-owner was in the left seat enjoying the ride!

INOP right now, needs to be repacked.

Based on the title I was expecting to see a 172 under canopy. Nice photos!

Nice work!

Rudder trim is pretty rare on 172s

Great!

Where's the radar pod?

INOP? The irony does not escape me

For the first time ever, your photos disappoint me Jack. I was really hoping for a chute pull.

Great shots, as always.

LOL, fixed the title!

Hmmm. I don't know! I'll have to ask! There was a little switch hanging down by the pitot tube and he told me it blows back when you're moving because you don't want the radar on when on the ground. I'm assuming the radar is still installed!

Nice pictures as usual ,it would have looked good under a canopy

Would the rocket fire through the right rear window?

Would the rocket fire through the right rear window?

Yes. It’s designed to make the plane hit tail first.
