Cessna 150L

January 11, 2018 by CAM_Admin

The Cessna 150 (shown here with the doors off) is one of the most popular small single engine aircraft ever built. It carries 2 passengers and is used by individuals as a personal aircraft and by flight schools to train future pilots.

Our aircraft was registered in January 1973. Although the C-150 is not manufactured anymore, there are many still flying today. The Cessna has a gross weight of only 1600 lbs., cruises at about 100 mph, and has a range of about 475 miles. It is used as a trainer because of its gentle flying characteristics, fuel efficiency, and overall cost. Our Cessna is an educational exhibit that plays a major role in training our young visitors in how an aircraft is controlled and how it flies.
