Wilco Aviation is pleased to exclusively offer this 1973 Cessna FR172 J Reims Rocket to the market. Flown by its current owner regularly, G-MFEF has undergone extensive avionics upgrades by Bournemouth Avionics and received a repaint and uplifted interior by Flymoore Aviation at Dunkeswell, Devon. Photographs of the extensive works are available on request. True to its name, the Reims Rocket boasts a 210hp engine and a variable-pitch propeller, making it faster than the typical Cessna 172. The engine benefited from a top end overhaul in 2022 whilst extensive works were undertaken on the rest of the aircraft. G-MFEF’s exceptional short-field performance allows it to operate in and out of smaller airfields with ease. Along with impressive fuel endurance, modern avionics, and an autopilot system, Echo Foxtrot stands out as a highly desirable aircraft to own. Having the additional HP over the Hawk XP the Rocket certainly out performs any other 172 variant in the STOL performance it offers with the added bonus of factory corrosion proofing and the bare metal respray this aicraft is set to last its new owner for years to come. All ADs and SBs have been complied with. Logs and records back to its transfer onto the UK registration are available for viewing.
