This 1965 Cessna 172 Skyhawk (N5540R) presents as a well-equipped time-builder with 5,191 total hours on the airframe and a 1,516 SMOH engine that's approximately halfway through its 2,000-hour TBO. The aircraft features dual Garmin G5s as primary flight instruments, complemented by a Bendix KA134 audio panel, dual King nav/coms (KX155 and KX165), and a KR86 ADF, making it IFR-capable with dual VOR capability. The white exterior with red and black striping shows in good condition, while the functional maroon and gray cloth interior presents well with clearly readable instruments.

Recent service history includes complete logbooks and an annual inspection valid through June 2025. The aircraft retains practical features like electric flaps, gravity-fed fuel tanks, and a spacious aft baggage compartment, having served as a flight school trainer near Cincinnati. Notably, there's no major damage history reported. With its G5-equipped panel and current maintenance status, this Skyhawk offers a solid foundation for training or personal use.
