1966 Cessna 172 SkyhawkSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1966 Cessna 172G Skyhawk (N1385F) presents as a well-maintained example with recent engine work and careful ownership. The airframe shows 2,688.52 total hours, while the Continental O-300-D engine has just 220.56 hours since its major overhaul by Central Cylinder Service in August 2024, giving it substantial remaining life before the 1,800-hour TBO. The aircraft benefits from 50 years of hangar storage in Detroit before its current ownership, where it's been actively flown by an instrument-rated pilot building hours while remaining hangared between trips in Fargo, ND.

The panel features a traditional six-pack with ILS capability, complemented by a Nav-Com MX-170C intercom system and UAVionics ADSB In/Out equipment. The interior shows well with recently replaced carpet (June 2023) and cloth seating, while the exterior paint is described as fantastic with minor blemishes and a small taped crack on the rear window. Notably, the aircraft comes with complete logbooks showing no corrosion history, includes wheel pants (currently not installed), and operates with a fuel-efficient ~7 GPH burn from its 37-gallon capacity. The recent installation of a new Concorde aircraft battery in November 2024 adds to its airworthiness.
