Cessna began production of the 172 in 1955. Since that time, the 172 has become the quintessential training aircraft and is a popular choice among private owners. This aircraft has earned a place on ramps and in hangars throughout the world. Interestingly, this aircraft has also been used in law enforcement and military applications (US and foreign).
