Description
SOLD - This 1976 Cessna 172M Skyhawk has been hangar kept most of its life by the last two owners. The airplane was repainted in 2006 with Jet Glow paint by one of the best shops on the West Coast and looks like the day it was painted. All the plexiglass windows are in excellent condition. The interior is mostly original and shows well. We actually sold this airplane back in 1999 and always appreciate repeat customers. If your looking for a nice M model Skyhawk you will like this one.
About the Cessna 172M
The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is the most successful aircraft ever built — more than 44,000 produced since 1956, more than any other aircraft in history. A four-seat, high-wing piston single, it is the world's default flight trainer and one of the most forgiving, well-supported aircraft in the air. Cruising around 122 knots on a Lycoming O-320 or O-360 engine, the 172 spans seven decades of variants — from 1950s straight-tail models through the long-running N/P models to the current fuel-injected Skyhawk SP with Garmin G1000. The 172RG Cutlass adds retractable gear for the complex endorsement.
Produced 1956. Total produced: 45,000.
