Here's a picture of one of the airplanes I regularly fly at Osan Air Base. It's a 1983 Cessna 172 with extended range fuel tanks (50 gallons). That's sufficient to remain airborne for 5 hours with a one hour reserve.
The tail number is N94ER, but we all refer to it as "Echo Romeo". It flies pretty well and it's well maintained by a contract Korean mechanic for the Air Force Aero Club. The day I took this photo I was waiting for some flight time, but was unable to fly. There are six airplanes in the club, but usually only three instructors are available to fly any one day. This bodes well for day when I get my license, as I'll be able to fly pretty much whenever I want (weather permitting).
