***UPDATED LISTING AFTER ENGINE REPLACEMENT***
To everyone who has been enquiring on this airframe, I appologise for not getting back to you. We have been busy replacing JFA's engine so we could update the listing. We insisted on a fresh MR for JFA when it went under contract, and our LAME expressed concern over some metal in the filter of the engine. We decided it was time for a new one, so I appreciate your patience while we organised this.
JFA - One of the straightest 172 airframes flying, just got better. JFA has just had an engine replacement with a low hour engine. This engine has just been installed and has come out of the highly reputable rebuild facility at Aero Engines Australia in Cairns, and starts its life in JFA freshly rebuilt with reset calendar time, and the original 526.6hrs engine hours, giving it over 1,200hrs to run.

All engine hoses have also been replaced, along with the engine oil cooler and a variety of smaller list items, to ensure JFA is in the best of condition for whatever use its new owner has for her.

This aircraft has a fresh annual inspection and is ready to fly. JFA represents the safest and straightest purchase of a 172 on the current market. There isn't an application that this aircraft doesn't suit, whether its professional use, an aircraft to use to learn to fly, or a farm taxi to get you in and out of your place, this is the one.
