SOLD - This 1976 Cessna 172M Skyhawk has been hangar kept most of its life by the last two owners. The airplane was repainted in 2006 with Jet Glow paint by one of the best shops on the West Coast and looks like the day it was painted. All the plexiglass windows are in excellent condition. The interior is mostly original and shows well. We actually sold this airplane back in 1999 and always appreciate repeat customers. If your looking for a nice M model Skyhawk you will like this one.
