The most produced GA airplane of all time. Cessna 172 Skyhawk history. 1956 to present day. 44,000 built. What was the 172J? You will find out here :) From 1986 to 1995 production was halted due to insurance costs for Cessna. A bipartisan bill fixed the problem and production resumed in 1996 with the 172R. The 172O "Oscar" was never used for obvious reasons.
