Cessna 172 Skyhawk

The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is probably the most recognizable single engine aircraft in the world. The aircraft has been used by flight schools since its creation in the early 1950s and it continues to be used today. The Skyhawk is not limited to strictly flight training use. It is a very popular aircraft for recreational use. The aircraft's great flying qualities make it a great instrument training platform and it's spacious cabin make it comfortable for those cross-country flights. Wright Aero recognizes these traits. That is why we currently have three C172 Skyhawks in our fleet: one C172N and two 1997 C172Rs.
