About the type: Cessna R172
The Cessna P172D and R172 are a series of light two to four-seat, single-engine, fixed wing aircraft produced by Cessna between 1963 and 1985. The series began as an attempt to rebrand the unpopular Cessna 175 Skylark as a variant of the more successful Cessna 172 under the P172D Powermatic name, but the rebranded aircraft sold poorly and was discontinued from the American civilian market after only a year. However, the R172 found success with military operators as the T-41 Mescalero, and was eventually reintroduced to the civilian market in 1977 as the Hawk XP. The aircraft was also produced in France by Reims Aviation for the European market as the Reims Rocket, including civilian versions of otherwise military-only variants. A version with retractable landing gear was also offered in the early 1980s as the Cessna 172RG Cutlass RG, but suffered from poor sales and was discontinued in 1985.
