Cessna 195: Snub-nosed limousine from Wichita

Flight Journal, Jun 1999 by Davisson, Budd

One of the most fun things about flying a 195 is taxiing up to the gas pump then working your way back through the seats to step out It's hard not to assume a Howard Hughes or Wiley Post pose to go with the machine. It's also difficult not to smile as onlookers approach, their eyes traveling from one end of the airplane to the other.

The Cessna 195 has universal appeal, and that's one of the best parts about owning a great airplane. Most of us wish we owned a time machine, and we can't help but envy those who do.
