In my continuing attempts to create more diversity in the discussions that occur on this forum, I thought it might be interesting to discuss or share photos of the various Cessna high-wing prop types in service around the world. By “high-wing prop types”, I am referring to the following models (or similar ones):
Cessna 150/152
Cessna 172
Cessna 182
Cessna 206/210
Cessna 208 Caravan/Grand Caravan
Cessna 180/185
If you have pictures please share them or perhaps information about new deliveries or just general information about the Cessnas in service with any air force that interests you. Surely, this involves a great many different air arms so I hope there is plenty of discussion and photo sharing to go around.
In my opinion, some of the hardest working airplanes in the world are those manufactured by Cessna, and though most people don’t think about it, in many cases they are a hugely important part of a nation’s air arm, whether they are used as trainers, liaison aircraft, reconnaissance aircraft, or even in an armed capacity in some cases.
I look forward to some interesting replies!
