1965 Cessna 172F SkyhawkSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft • Columbia, SC, USA

This 1965 Cessna 172F Skyhawk, registration N21RP, has 2,905 total airframe hours with 1,669 hours since engine overhaul. The engine compressions are described as excellent, and it uses approximately one quart of oil every six hours. The aircraft underwent a comprehensive restoration from 2018 to 2022 after being stored from 1987 until March 2022, during which the wings were reskinned in Cessna jigs, the carburetor was overhauled, most instruments were overhauled, and engine cables were replaced. The current owner, who flew 80 hours in the last nine months for career building, is selling because he has been hired by the airlines.
