Anyone interested in a real nice 172? I'm getting fully involved in a Highlander kit project and I need more money to move forward and more hangar space to put the wings on the Highlander. I guess it's time to sell the certified plane and dive in with both feet on the home-built.

I've owned the plane since 2009 and had lots of good reliable flying fun with it. It's clean and runs real strong. Lots of tire kickers on Barnstormers so I thought I would share it with my BCP bretheren who have collectively inspired me to fly this bushworthy 172 to a lot of awesome getaways without pavement or improved runways.

Thanks for looking.

What a nice looking ship! I'm betting it is pretty docile for a taildragger too. I like the paint scheme - wasn't that the AOPA better than new 172 scheme?

Wish I could add this to the quiver

Good luck

No idea why but he pics aren't loading for me. Good luck with your sale!!

Okay. I went back over the tutorial Zzz made and I fixed the pics (you have to link the image URL, not the slide show URL in case anyone has had this problem).

Thanks for the kind words 62leemer. It is a docile airplane and I kinda like the paint scheme too, but I don't recall the last AOPA give-away 172, but maybe AOPA will do a an old straight tail 172 conversion in the future. They spare no expense on them.
