This 1971 Cessna 172L Skyhawk (N4323Q) presents as a well-equipped example with only 2,497 total airframe hours and a 606 SMOH Lycoming O-320-E2D engine. The aircraft features a Garmin 430 GPS with a GI-106A VOR/glideslope indicator, King KX-155 nav/com, and Appareo Stratus ADS-B compliant transponder with Status 3i ADS-B IN solution. The panel includes an Electronics International fuel flow computer, PS Engineering audio panel, and dual hinged crew windows, though the 4-position EGT gauge and Astronics P2 autopilot are noted as inoperative.

The aircraft shows well-maintained exterior with white/grey paint and blue accents, kept in a hangar when not flown, with only minor hangar rash noted on the right outboard leading-edge skin. The interior features grey leatherette seating with fabric inserts, color-matched panels, and includes shoulder harnesses for all seats. Notable upgrades include a Reiff engine pre-heater, Concord battery (new in 2025), LED landing light, and electric flaps. Maintenance records show a new lower firewall installed in 2013 and periods of reduced activity between 2009-2012 with some biennial annuals. The next annual is due October 2025, with IFR checks due September 2026.
