    Description
    Well-equipped 1965 Cessna 172F with significant recent investment, including a low-time Continental O-300-D major overhaul completed by Triad Aviation in February 2025 and a complete exterior refinish in April 2026. N8596U is equipped with Garmin WAAS navigation, ADS-B, a JPI engine monitor, dual Nav/Comm capability and an 870 lb useful load. The aircraft will be delivered with a fresh annual inspection completed prior to sale. Available logbooks and maintenance records have been digitized and organized for buyer review. Historical log continuity is incomplete, and the aircraft has two documented prior damage repair events. Available supporting maintenance and repair records will be provided to qualified buyers. This is a practical classic Skyhawk with a very low-time engine, recently refinished exterior and a useful avionics package for a private owner, flying club, instructor or training operation.
