Cessna 172 Page
|
|
|
|
This page is dedicated to the Cessna 172, the most popular general aviation plane ever produced. I have flown three different versions of the 172:
Cessna Skyhawk 172N/M/P, a 150/160hp model made in the mid 70s
Cessna Cutlass 172RG, a retractable gear 180hp plane with a constant speed prop
Cessna Skyhawk 172R/SP, a new Cessna 172 with 160 or 180hp updated avionics
172s can be found virtually anywhere in the world, for general aviation flying and training.
