I spoke with the pilot of this pretty Cessna yesterday, because we have
a mutual friend. But I didn't really look closely at the airplane until
he was taxiing away to go home. I snapped a photo to get the
registration number, thinking all along that it was a Cessna 180.
Lo and behold, when I ran the registration, I found it to be a 1956
Cessna 172. Apparently, at some point in its life, it was converted to
conventional gear. It makes a very pretty configuration, quite
different from the conventional Cessna 170 with its rounded rudder.

Any comments would be appreciated.
