About the F172G

The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is an American single-engine, high-wing fixed-wing aircraft featuring a four-seat layout and tricycle landing gear. It suits personal transportation, flight training, and aerial work, offering a stable and accessible platform for civilian pilots.

Developed from an earlier tailwheel model with modifications to landing gear and tail surfaces, the aircraft achieved unmatched popularity and longevity as a production civil airplane. Manufactured in large quantities over many decades across multiple facilities, it evolved through several cosmetic and structural refinements, including panoramic cabin windows and updated powerplants, remaining a cornerstone of general aviation.

{# the label links to these aircraft for sale, built in that span. On the label and not the count: the bands count every aircraft on the market (on_market) while the grid shows only those with a photo (live), so the count is not a promise of how many cards appear. A band cached before year_min existed renders as plain text rather than a link to an unfiltered list. #}
