Ryane,

Nice photo! That's what it looks like right now outside my window. What a beautiful, clear, warm day it is today. I'm sure that the guy in the 37 foot sailboat who is stuck on the sandbar outside my window is glad that the weather is gorgeous. He has a long wait as I don't think it's high tide until about midnight. The yacht club already came and removed all of his guests from the boat, but the captain needs to stay with his girl.

Ah yeah, my camera is a cheap-o digital camera too...and when I uploaded them to photobucket it reduced the quality even more! But I guess they still look ok.

The tailpipe is an STC that our parent company purchased. Primary function is to route our exhaust away from our cameras, so that our images aren't distorted. Secondary function is to attract every FAA ramp check dude within a 100mi radius =)

In actuality it does nothing for performance, and kinda makes a loud(er) sound than a normal 172, considering we have a hole in the belly right near where the exhaust comes out. It also sounds like a mortar was just fired, whenever our planes backfire.

Over-all its been fun though! I've flown the little 172 from coast to coast.

What kind of photography work do you do in the C172? That actually sounds like a fun job.

very nice photos, looks like one of those photography 172's with the "anti-exhaust-in-yo-lens" pipe.
