This 1967 Cessna 172H Skyhawk (N8099L) presents as a well-maintained example with several notable upgrades. The airframe shows 5,887 total hours, while the Lycoming O-360-A4M 180 HP conversion has only 433.7 hours since new, including a Sensenich propeller installed at the same time. The aircraft just completed its annual inspection in May 2024 and remains in annual through May 2025, with no current airworthiness concerns noted by the mechanic. The engine demonstrates strong health with all cylinders showing compression above 78, intact crosshatching, and no metal found in the oil filter inspection.

The aircraft features a $20,000 modern paint scheme completed in 2024, with the fuselage in good condition and only minor paint patches missing on the wings. Avionics upgrades include ADS-B In/Out compliance through Northern Lights Avionics (approximately $12,000 investment), a PS Engineering intercom, Bendix KX155 radio, Garmin GPS296, and 150XL GPS, along with an Electronics International digital CHT/EGT gauge - making it basic IFR capable. The 180 HP conversion includes silicone rocker cover gaskets and two fine-wire spark plugs per cylinder, with 8.00x6 Airtrac main tires and an upgraded heavy-duty nose fork. Logbooks are described as mostly complete since 1967, with possible gaps in the mid-2000s that the mechanic can address. The aircraft has no accident history and has been hangared at Merrill Field.
