Description
1974 CESSNA 172 M SKYHAWK II This beautiful bird lived in Birmingham and Pell City, Alabama until 2021 when she flew to Battle Creek, Michigan where she lives now. She has never been near salty air. She has 3918 TT, 1964 SMOH, compressions 73;78,77,78/80. Annual good thru 9/26. Might be the nicest Mike model you will find. In 1999 she was chemically stripped, acid etched, anodized and painted Bama colors. It looks like it was done last week. Interior is near perfect. Everything works. Since 1993 she has been owner/pilot flown, no rental no trainer. I’ve aged out of solo flying so she needs a new home.
