The Beginner's Dream
172 Skyhawk

The Safest Plane on the Market

Since 1955, there’s never been a more accredited aircraft than the Cessna 172. It’s time-tested design and handling characteristics make it not only the world’s number one choice for training, but also the safest GA aircraft money can buy. With very near 50K models in production, the 172 has proven its value and abilities above all other GA airplanes. You’ll look far and wide to find a pilot who doesn’t have extensive time and trust in the venerable 172.
