Turboprop? Not!

By General Aviation News Staff · June 3, 2005 ·

In the April 8 issue of GAN, on page 40, is a picture of a very popular airplane, which is identified as a Cessna 172R TURBOPROP! (The new face of GA: From multimillionaire business executives to farmers in their fields, China discovers GA).

Wow! What those Chinese are doing to our airplanes. Why doesn’t Wichita do this? Or, could it be an error by writer Steven Ribet?

Keep the clean side up!
