Owned by the same meticulous owner since 2007, this aircraft has benefitted from consistent maintenance, careful handling, and considered upgrades to enhance both reliability and capability.

As one of the most enduring and respected aircraft in general aviation, the Skyhawk is known for its predictable handling, stability, and ease of operation. G-BFTH is no exception. It offers smooth and responsive flight characteristics, making it a joy to fly whether you are a seasoned pilot or a newer aviator looking for a dependable and forgiving platform. The aircraft s well-balanced performance, 110-knot cruise speed, and 500-nautical-mile range make it ideally suited for touring, training, or leisure flying.

The aircraft benefits from a recently completed top-end engine overhaul (March 2024), ensuring strong and reliable performance for years to come. Additionally, the avionics have been thoughtfully updated with a fully integrated Garmin Aera 760 GPS, Garmin GNC 255A Nav/Com, and a Garmin GTX 330 Mode S Transponder, blending classic Skyhawk familiarity with modern functionality.

Inside, the aircraft retains its original charm with a classic light grey leather interior accented with navy trim, offering a timeless aesthetic that complements its well-preserved airframe.
