I always figured your username was a plane but just looked on flightaware and its last tracked flight was 10 years ago
I came to Auburn in 96 and left in 2000 and at that time Auburn had I guess 14-16 C172s, but only four of them were painted in Auburn colors. The others were in mid 80s questionable thought process color schemes.
N97883 wasn't necessarily the best but it was a favorite. I'm not surprised it's gone as I believe they were reaching 12000+ or so hours in the 90s and you could finally purchase new ones by then. But the P models were nice planes.
I chose the name figuring I wanted something Auburn, it was a good personal memory and maybe another poster would recognize the N number.
And frankly, I have a lot of nostalgia for Cessna 172s and for my time at Auburn flying them with Auburn students.

Dude, I solo'ed in N2325T. A shitty Traumahawk. Airplane was as likely to make you airsick as anything!!
AU has come a long way with the flight program.
