Apparently it was sold to buy her first home!
I heard that they were giving a 172 Skyhawk every Saturday night as a grand prize at bingo night at the Ft Rucker O club. All those Lts & Captains drawing per diem and flight pay were already driving Corvettes. The base had grown very fast and very big. Student out put went from 75/month in 65 to about 1500/month in late 69.
Easy to see how they could award a Skyhawk every week for a couple of years. That's a lot of Cessnas.
