In the aircraft popularity contest, there is one undisputed winner – the Cessna Skyhawk.  With more than 43,000 Skyhawks delivered, it is the best-selling, most-flown airplane ever.  Maybe that’s because of its proven reliability.  Or its forgiving flight characteristics.  Or its reputation as the safest general aviation aircraft ever built.  Or the fact that with advancements like the Garmin® G1000 glass cockpit, the Skyhawk continues to build on its legacy as one of the most advanced single-engine aircraft in the sky.  The foremost reason for owning a Skyhawk is very likely the same one that made you want to fly in the first place: your undeniable longing to experience the exhilarating freedom of the open sky.  Not only is the Skyhawk the most direct route to fulfilling that dream, it’s also one of the world’s truly great airplanes.
