Description

Well maintained, flown regularly, and oil changes on a factory new engine every 4 months or 25 hours. Overhauled mags, new wiring harness and spark plugs are just a few of the new parts added in the last couple of years. WAAS Garmin panel for those IFR days and ADSB in/out transponder for traffic and weather to your iPad. This turn-key Skylane does have some minor damage history from the 1960's that was repaired at an authorized repair facility with new parts from Cessna. No hail damage and no corrosion. All logs since new on this Anniversary edition Skylane. Headed in for fresh Annual in October 2026.
