Why This Aircraft?

This 1965 Cessna 172F stands out not only for its classic charm but also for its exceptionally low airframe total time of just 2,908.31 hours. Combined with meticulous maintenance and comprehensive overhauls, this aircraft is truly a rare find. With its recent annual and 100-hour inspections, you can trust that it’s ready for your next adventure. This plane has been in Utah since new. All annuals and inspections have been performed in the Salt Lake City region. The plane was hangared and out of service not flown from 1985 to 2020 due to private owner illness. It was sold to R. Petersen who who changed the tail number with the FAA to N21RP and he did a full and complete restoration on the plane from 2020 - 2024. It was purchased by SR22LLC with plans for a municipal flight school. That never approved and the plane has to be sold.
