Google "Cessna 152 RG" and you'll find links to 152RGs in Oregon and Maui, too.
Sorry, the photo in the link is mis-labeled as a 152-RG, but it is a 172 (and fixed gear at that). If you click the arrow to go to the next photo, it shows a 172 fixed gear also. The Google results are from similar, incorrect statements about 152RG's. There were no retractable gear 152's made. This is what a 152 looks like:


And here is the 172RG, also called the Cutlass:


Sorry, not trying to be difficult, but I am a licensed aircraft mechanic and can assure you there are no 152RG's.
