Description
Cessna 172P G-ETDC for sale with Helix Av. This aircraft has recently undergone an extensive refurbishment, including a new full interior, various fuselage skin repairs and a fresh respray in white with grey and maroon decals, together with a comprehensive avionics fit. Delta Charlie benefits from an in-time Lycoming O-320-D2J engine, overhauled in December 2015, and a McCauley propeller overhauled in June 2024, making this a well-equipped and versatile all-round aircraft. Available to view at Manston Airport Kent.
