A certified Cessna Pilot Center, Infinity Flight Group currently operates 65 Cessna Skyhawks out of their bases at Trenton-Mercer Airport in New Jersey and Treasure Coast Airport in Ft. Pierce, Florida. The additional aircraft will join the flight school's current fleet of Cessna Skyhawks, enhancing its capacity to train the next generation of aviators.
"The Cessna Skyhawk sets the standard in reliability and performance," said Chris Crow, vice president, Piston Sales. "Organizations like Infinity Flight Group continue to place trust in this industry-leading aircraft, which is ideal for both student pilots and private owners."
The best-selling, high-wing piston has earned a reputation for reliability, ease of use, and versatility over the decades, making it a favorite among flight schools and experienced pilots. Infinity Flight Group's new aircraft will feature the recently announced dual electronic ignition system (dual EIS), enhancing maintenance, efficiency and overall operation of the Skyhawk. As Textron Aviation celebrates the Cessna 172 Skyhawk's 70th anniversary this year, this continued investment in innovation underscores the aircraft's exceptional design and enduring capabilities, marking seven decades since its first flight in June 1955.
