    Constructed as a 172.

    To Robert Timm and John Cook with new c/r N9172B.

    11 October 1958

    Certificate of airworthiness for N9172B (172, 172-36772) issued.

    From 4 December 1958 to 4 February 1959

    Robert Timm and John Cook took off from McCarran Airfield, Las Vegas, NV. Sixty-four days, 22 hours, 19 minutes and 5 seconds later, they landed back at McCarran Airfield. The flight was part of a fund raising effort for the Damon Runyon Cancer Fund. Food and water were transferred by matching speeds with a chase car on a straight stretch of road in the desert, and hoisting the supplies aboard with a rope and bucket. Fuel was taken on by hoisting a hose from a fuel truck up to the aircraft, filling an auxiliary belly tank installed for the flight, pumping that fuel into the aircrafts regular tanks, and then filling the belly tank again.

    4 August 1988

    To Steve A. Timm, Malibu, CA keeping c/r N9172B.

    To Howard Cannon Aviation Museum, Harry Reid International Airport, Las Vegas, NV.
