The E-Tech Blue Skys (ICAO: C172 / WAKE: LIGHT) is a four seat, single engine, high wing, fixed-wing aircraft. Created in Second Life by E-Tech, the aircraft was loosely based on the real-life Cessna 172 Skyhawk, built by the Cessna Aircraft Company.
Background
An original design by E-Tech, loosely based on the Cessna 172, the Blue Skys is equipped with three doors (one front, two rear) and four seats placed back-to-back. The aircraft's control surfaces, including flaps, ailerons and rudder are animated, as is its single propeller engine. As with most E-Tech light aircraft, the Blue Skys has an optional particle-smoke emitter with six possible colors of smoke trail.

- Engine on/off, lights, airbrake, flaps, camera control, and smoke switches.
