Our Aircraft
1972 Cessna 177B Cardinal, N13HK
Fast, roomy, and fully IFR.
The Cardinal was Cessna’s clean-sheet successor to the 172: a cantilever wing with no strut, a cabin four inches wider, doors you can actually load through, and a 180 HP engine with a constant-speed prop. Ours has been brought up to a modern glass panel.
