1965 Cessna 172 SkyhawkSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft • Griffin, Georgia
This 1965 Cessna 172F Skyhawk, serial number 28492-D-3-D, is a well-equipped example that recently received significant mechanical and cosmetic investment. N8596U is powered by a Continental O-300-D engine that underwent a major overhaul by Triad Aviation in February 2025, with just 134 hours since major overhaul (SMOH) and 6 cycles recorded against a 2,000-hour TBO. The McCauley propeller has been overhauled and shows 460 hours since overhaul. The airframe has accumulated 12,861 total hours, and the aircraft was completely refinished in April 2026 in JetGlo Light Beige with Sabel Brown and Malt Brown accents.
