is this N75202 from East Coast Aero Club?

[dangbeaudet]

@navymmw Yes, it is N75202. That's was my primary trainer and what I used for my check ride.

[navymmw]

@dangbeaudet thought so, I recognized it from the blue wings. Do you still fly with East Coast?

[dangbeaudet]

@navymmw No, after I got my license I tried to get ECAC to bring a Cessna 172 up from Bedford so I could try them out, but it never happened, so I flew out of Concord Aviation Services (at KCON) for a while then moved out of the state.

Your mom is in the back?

Right?

[dangbeaudet]

Yes, my mother was in the back. It was the first time I took my parents flying after I got my license.

@appleglory I just looked this up to make sure my comment was factual and this is what I found: The stall speed for a piper warrior is around 44 knots (dirty) while the cessna 172 has a stall speed of 43 knots (dirty). Without flaps the stall speed for the cessna 172 is 49 knots while the piper warriors is 50 knots. So you are right. I stated this comment before I understood the different stall speeds.The site that I looked at before did not state dirty or no flaps so I mixed them up.Thanks

@chris5812341234 I'm sure that the 172 has a lower stall speed..?

@SpaceMedic warriors are great aircraft to train in

I trained in cherokees, so when I got into the warior and landed it I couldn't believe how easy it was to grease it on compared to the Cherokee. Love the warrior for it's extra wingspan, but I think Cherokees are better trainers because it'll make you work more.
