N640SP

River City Flying Club leases N640SP, a 1998 Cessna 172S. The Cessna 172 is the most-produced aircraft in history for good reason: forgiving, dependable, and capable enough for real cross-country travel. It’s kept hangared and well-maintained so it’s always ready for the next member.

N640SP comes fully equipped — a well-appointed IFR panel that’s comfortable and capable for a broad range of pilots, from students to instrument-rated cross-country flyers.
