1964 Cessna 172F SkyhawkSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1964 Cessna 172F Skyhawk (N8157U) presents a well-maintained example with several notable upgrades. The airframe shows 4,470 total hours, powered by a Lycoming O-360-A4M (180HP) engine installed in December 2004 with 1,265 hours since new, showing strong compression readings (80/80/75/77) at its most recent annual inspection in February 2025. The aircraft features a Sensenich fixed-pitch propeller with matching time, complete engine and prop logs, and benefits from an STC-increased gross weight of 2,500 lbs (useful load 1,021 lbs).

Equipped for IFR operations, the panel includes dual KX-155 radios, Bendix King VOR/LOC with glideslope, Garmin GTX 327 transponder, and Avmap EKP IV GPS, complemented by a uAvionix ADS-B Out beacon. The 19-gallon wing tanks are supplemented by an auxiliary 19-gallon baggage tank. While airframe logs are incomplete prior to 1988 (missing 0-2,275 hours), the aircraft has been hangared and flown regularly under single ownership since 2004, with all ADs current. The paint and interior are rated 7/10, positioned as a capable traveler with the added performance of its 180HP upgrade.
