Cessna - the singles

 

Cessna 145 Airmaster NC19495

One of the early Cessna's, the Airmaster already showed the shape of things to come. The high wing layout still is popular with this American manufacturer.

 

Cessna 120 G-BJML

Immediately after the Second World War, Cessna designed the model 120 which evolved into the all-metal 140. This formed the basis for larger models such as the 170, 180 which in turn developed into the more modern 172, 182, 185, and many more.

Cessna 150B G-ARZX

The initial Model 150 was hardly a gorgeous aircraft with its blunt nose and straight vertical tail. Later versions became more streamlined and offered better visibility thanks to a cut-down rear fuselage. In this form, the Model 150 and its Model 152 successor are known the world over.

 

Cessna 152 D-ECHV

This aircraft definitely needs no further introduction. As one of the world's most popular training aircraft, it can be found at nearly every airport around the world. Its high wing give it docile and forgiving handling characteristics, making it an ideal ab-initio training aircraft.

Cessna 152 N6106M

 

Cessna 152 N22245

You don't fancy an everyday 152 ? You can have it converted in taildragger form if you like ! Add an exiciting paint scheme and you can be sure you will be seen wherever you go !

 

Cessna 170B D-ENRA

Essentially an enlarged version of the 140, the model 170 formed the basis for the highly succesful 4-seat model 172.

Cessna 170B N170ER

 

Reims-Cessna F.172M Skyhawk OO-MVG

No general aviation webpage can be complete without mentioning the world's most built touring aircraft. It has been licence-built in France by Reims Aviation and has been in use by air forces and aeroclubs allover the world.

Cessna T-41 Mescalero N7756L, USAF

The T-41 is a military derivative of the popular Model 172, differing only in internal details from its civilian counterpart. In USAF service it carries ordinary civilian registration together with the star-and-bar national insignia.

 

Cessna F.182Q Skylane OO-MAM

At first glance, the models 172 and 182 are hardly distinguishable. They are however very different, with the model 182 being slightly larger in most respects. It has a more powerful engine too, which makes it a fast and comfortable performer.

 

Cessna 207 N7311U

The ultimate stretch of the basic 172 airframe... It may not be as good looking as its smaller companion, but it is a sturdy cargo hauler or comfortable six seater.

Cessna 207 N9482M

 

Cessna T.210H Centurion N27241

This powerful 6-seater is a further development of the utility model 206 Stationair. Early versions had braced wings, but more modern variants have cantilever units.

Cessna 210N Centurion OO-CNV

As can be clearly seen in this view, the model 210 disposes of a retractable gear. The main gear legs rotate backwards into the fuselage, whereas the nosewheel retracts forward underneath the engine bay.

Cessna 210 Centurion N6348A

This aircraft earns its keep at Scenic Airlines, flying tourists over the Grand Canyon and Lake Powell. Scenic flights in most Cessna single-engined aircraft are a joy, thanks to the high wing mounting offering a wide field of view down below !

Cessna 195 G-BBYE

With its all metal construction, the Cessna 195 was ahead of its time when it first appeared in the late thirties. Its radial engine gave it a 'heavy' appearance but offered very good prestations.

 

Cessna 208 Caravan I N10239 of Scenic Airlines

Designed as a true workhorse of the air, the 208 is equipped with a powerful turboprop engine, allowing hot and high operations with a nearly full load. The aircraft shown has the large underfuselage cargo pannier, allowing the carriage of passengers and small cargo at the same time.

Cessna 208 Caravan I N1307A

Similar to the previous aircraft, this machine lacks the optional cargo pannier, giving the aircraft its distinctive long leg appearance.
