Description
This 1968 Cessna 172-I (S/N #17257041) blends the timeless reliability of analog gauges with modern digital simplicity to present the ideal aircraft for training and light cross-country. Garmin 275s collect all flight and engine data into simple digital focal points while analog altimeter, airspeed, VSI and turn coordinator are retained for nostalgia and training.
New, digital fuel senders with added heated AoA probe and full EGT sensor system. Healthy engine with solid compression results and 800+ hrs remaining under TBO; airframe/engine logs complete back to manufacture. New paint was applied in April 2025 following comprehensive strip and chemical etching. New seats, panel and interior were installed in summer 2025.
