N242AV has been part of the tremendous avionics upgrade that has been accomplished throughout most of the Aviation Adventures fleet this winter. A fantastic WAAS capable Garmin G430W has been installed. A brand new second NAV/COM and ADS-B capability has been added, which comes automatically with XM weather and traffic. Two Garmin G5 units have replaced the vacuum powered gauges. These have their own electrical back up power for redundancy, in case of an electrical issue. If you are looking for a clean, financially more attractive C172, N242AV has it all: old style 40 degrees of flaps for excellent short field capability, no wheel pants, so let's do some real grass work, a clean instrument panel for IFR training, and great situational awareness tools which will be very valuable in the busy local area, but especially during cross country flights. It might be an "oldie", but is definitely a "goodie", which you will thoroughly enjoy while the world is moving under your wings.
