The other day I heard a plane that sounded funny as it flew over the house, quite a number of float planes fly over my house but this one didn't sound normal, it sounded far too quiet.
Out of curiosity I headed down to the local seaplane haul out to have a look. Sure enough this visitor was a Cessna 195. Last of the Cessna radial engine airplanes, these classic birds were only build from 1947 until 1954. What a treat to see one of these airplanes in our humble inlet!
Great looking plane!
ReplyDeleteshe sure is pretty!
ReplyDeleteI guess you need to get your pilots license and put a sea plane on your list of things you need!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots and including the drawing was a nice touch.
Years ago Ron I swore off two things because I know myself... Motorcycles and airplanes. I would have killed myself with either one in my younger days! LOL.
ReplyDeleteWhat a classic old Bird you found. I just love the styling and color scheme! The old 'tail-draggers' are my favorites, especially the Cessnas. Thanks for including the schematic.
ReplyDeleteAs a former flight attendant "from the past" I LOVED these photos!
ReplyDeleteIncidentally, I don't know who's commenting on my blog, but your comments are good for my ego and very much appreciated. Many thanks!
Cool plane, although I wouldn't want to fly in one! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful airplane! I would love to flight this one, actually this airplane is safer than the jet airplane, you can land this bird if the engine stalls out on you!
