Did my "discovery" flight  in a Piper PA-38 at Blairstown (1N7)... never logged it, so I don't remember the tail number.   :-/

N4879D 1979 Cessna 172N

I think it was the airplane I flew last time I went flying too.  It's funny to think back to how different it was to fly for the first time, and now what it's like to fly after almost 200 hours. :D ;)

Pa-28, spring of 2003.
Actually saw that airplane a couple of months ago when I visited my old flight school for my multiengine rating, alot had changed though.
Completely new interiors, new glass avionics (!), looked like brand new, and it was built in 1979  :-?

There's something special with the first one  ;D
