Text, Questions & Answers

Cessna planes, known for their small size and powerful flight, have been soaring the skies since 1927. Unlike the massive jets you see at airports, a Cessna plane is small and often used for training new pilots. But don't underestimate its size. Did you know that the smallest Cessna plane, the Cessna 152, can fly at a speed of up to 110 miles per hour? That's faster than a cheetah! Cessna planes also hold a unique record. In 1958, a Cessna 172, named 'The Spirit of Columbus,' was flown by Jerrie Mock, the first woman to fly solo around the world.
