Very cool. I'm guessing there aren't any straight-tail versions?

Good Morning Ryan, the only straight tails I have seen are the U-17s (C-180 and C-185). I Don't believe any of the earlier C-172s were used.

Nope.

But Canada bought four neat razorback (no rear window) swept tail 1961 182D which were called L-19Ls.
