Detailed Description

• Offered for sale is our 1972 Cessna 182P, a solid, low-time aircraft with a current annual inspection and recent engine overhaul completed by Poplar Grove Airmotive.
• This was our first airplane, purchased with the intention of updating it. Since that time, our mission changed, and we upgraded to a Cessna 210. This dependable 182 is now ready for its next owner. This would make an excellent personal, family, cross-country, or time-building aircraft.
