Turn heads on every ramp with this fully restored 1979 Cessna 172N Skyhawk - a perfect blend of classic reliability and modern upgrades.

This aircraft underwent a complete strip, alodine, prime, and custom paint job in late 2024 worth 24k USD, not just a repaint but a full professional restoration that gives it a standout presence wherever it goes.

The engine was overhauled in 2023 with new cylinders and has the STC for 160HP O320-D2G and fitted with a new propeller, ensuring strong, smooth performance for years to come. Inside, you'll find a brand-new leather checkerboard interior (2025) paired with new carpet, giving the cabin a fresh, elegant, and comfortable feel.
