AOPA partners on Skyhawk makeover program.
Continuing a trend that has seen a number of players seek to “remanufacture” aging general aviation piston airplanes with new paint, fresh interiors, zero-time engines and extensive inspections inside and out, Yingling is the latest to want in on this market with the reimagined Ascend 172.
The program, launched at EAA AirVenture in conjunction with AOPA, seeks to take an older Cessna Skyhawk and update it with new VFR flight instruments, a refurbished interior, firewall-forward overhaul and much, much more for a starting price of $160,000.
