That seems odd. There was a feature story about it in the March issue of
Plane and Pilot. I wouldn't think Cessna would have cooperated with the magazine if they planned to kill it just a few months later.
The Skylane version, the 182 JT-A, was discontinued some time ago, but I thought the 172 would survive in the training market, particularly in Europe. That being said, I have no idea if the aircraft appeals to European operators. I'm just another uninformed American.
