A good old friend: Cessna 172R Skyhawk N174AP

I have been looking into some old photos today and found these very special ones of the Cessna 172R Skyhawk N174AP of Aruba Flying Club (not active). I am certain that many of you have special memories of this airframe; many learned to fly in this baby and/or made some breathtaking sightseeing around Aruba with it. Dedicated to all my friends with whom I had the honour to fly around Aruba in this aircraft.
