N65197, a 1982 Cessna 172P Skyhawk II, is a true gem for aviation enthusiasts, boasting only two private owners since new and meticulously maintained by its current owner, a retired airline captain who purchased it from Van Bortel 30 years ago. With 3,450 total hours and 1,045 since a Lycoming factory overhaul, this aircraft is equipped with a Skyhawk II package featuring rear seat vents, tinted glass, articulated seats, skylights, courtesy lights, wheel pants, and Whelen wingtip strobes. Its avionics suite includes an Aspen Evolution, JPI EDM 730 with fuel flow, Garmin GNS 430 WAAS, Garmin SL40 Com, GTX330ES transponder, and a Garmin 696 GPS in an Air-Gizmos dock. Upgrades like Rosen visors, Powerflow exhaust, and a Challenger air filter enhance performance, with true airspeeds of 123–125 knots at 8,000 feet density altitude. The original paint, glass, and interior are rated a solid 7.5, with no damage history, hail, or corrosion, and pristine internals. Always hangared and impeccably cleaned, this Skyhawk II reflects unparalleled pride of ownership, ready for its next pilot.
