The Cessna 172r is the newest incarnation in the long line of 172s, one of Cessna (and the aviation world's) most successful models. Almost any pilot today probably spent at least some time training in the 172, with it's benign handling and decent visibility.

The Cessna 172 is an amazing airplane and it is ubiquitous on the flight line. These airplanes have helped an incredible number of pilots earn their wings and take to the skies. For new pilots, the Cessna 172 provides the peace of mind unique to an airplane that has such a distinguished history. This airplane has been put through it's paces. Some students find comfort in know that they are learning in one of the worlds most popular aircraft. Seasoned pilots can find used 172s all over and there are some great deals. Or perhaps you are business minded and are interested in purchasing and leasing back a Cessna 172 to a flying club. As long as you aren’t traveling long distances often, this airplane can serve multiple purposes and be a joy to own. It makes a fabulous trainer, as it is forgiving yet not ‘easy’ to fly, and it makes a great personal airplane for those that are looking travel within their region.
