Cessna C172 Skyhawk

The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is the top-rated single-engine flight training aircraft in the world.

We purchase new aircraft directly from Cessna, so our student pilots and passengers enjoy state-of-the art avionics and equipment.

More Cessna 172s have been manufactured than any airplane in history!

FLY VFE operates a fleet of 15 Cessna C172s which serve as both training aircraft and personal transportation shuttles for both passengers and our flight crews.

5 of our fleet are currently at Independence, Kansas, at Cessnas factory facility. Are you ready to take on the challenge of the 26 leg delivery flight to bring them to the UK?
