1979 Cessna 172 Hawk XP-R172Single-Engine Piston Aircraft • Yuma, AZ, USA

This 1979 Cessna 172 Hawk XP, registration N758RC, presents as a well-maintained example of the higher-performance 195 horsepower variant with a constant-speed propeller. The airframe shows 3,624 hours total time, with a useful load of 903 pounds. Its Continental IO-360-KB3B engine has 1,807 hours since its last major overhaul in 1999, with approximately 393 hours remaining until the next recommended overhaul.

A significant airframe history note is a right wing repair documented with a 337 form in 2007 following a taxi incident by another aircraft.
