How many TTAF hours can someone reasonably expect from a trainer C172?
Looking around at the ads, I do not see many hours above 10k. I guess
if I knew 20,000 TTAF hours was okay, and this plane is just
middle-aged, then I might consider keeping it longer.

I have been warned? that there is? may be? will be? could be in future? a
major airframe inspection? rebuilding? AD? SL? required? by Cessna? FAA? at
12 or 13000 hrs. I suggest further research from knowledgeable source.

Happy landings
