About the Cessna 172

The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is the best-selling aircraft of all time — more than 44,000 built — and the definitive four-seat high-wing training and touring single. It comes in three sub-families: the fixed-gear 172 letter series (172A through 172S, the volume of the fleet), the retractable-gear 172RG Cutlass, and the higher-powered R172 Hawk XP. The Skyhawk returned to production in 1996 and the fuel-injected 172S remains in production today. See the live price range and median above for the Cessna 172 and 172 Skyhawk listings on the market now, from early letter-series airframes to new-production 172S models.

Produced 1956. Total produced: 45,000.
