The 172 was in production from the mid 1950’s to 1986, and then they resumed production in 1996 to the present day. It is my understanding that the modern Skyhawk is technically a different aircraft, different type certificate and few interchangeable parts, but it’s still the Toyota Corolla of airplanes.
That’s how the heater of a Cessna Skyhawk made TODAY works. It’s also a lot more common to find an airplane that has been in service for 50 years.
i didn’t know they still made skyhawks. i tought they were all from the 70s.
