1961 Cessna 172 SkyhawkSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1961 Cessna 172B Skyhawk (N8142X) presents as a well-maintained example with 6,609 total airframe hours and a low-time engine showing just 141 hours since its 2014 major overhaul. The aircraft features an IFR-capable panel with King and Narco avionics including a KMA-20 audio panel, dual Nav/Coms (KX-170B and MK12D), and a uAvionix Skybeacon ADS-B Out solution. Notable upgrades include a Sportsman STOL kit, spin-on oil filter conversion, engine pre-heater, and updated control yokes, making it a practical choice for both training and backcountry operations.

The exterior sports a classic white scheme with dark red and beige accents, maintained in a hangar when not in use. The dark red vinyl interior with gold fabric and matching carpet shows some age but remains presentable, needing only a headliner zipper replacement. With an annual inspection valid until April 2026 and IFR checks due in May 2026, this Skyhawk offers immediate utility. The seller notes financing options are available with attractive terms, and they welcome trade-in considerations.
