Cessna 172 Skyhawk
The 172 Skyhawk is a four-seat, high-wing, single-engine airplane that the FAA approved in 1955. This site lists five pages, grouped by engine: the 172 through 172M, the 172N, 172P and 172R at 160 hp, the 172S at 180 hp, the retractable-gear 172RG, and the R172K Hawk XP at 195 hp. All but the 172RG share the ICAO code C172, so their flights are counted together on one code page. Private aircraft show specifications only, with no flight data.
