About the Cessna 120
The Cessna 120 is a classic post-war two-seat taildragger — a light, high-wing single built from 1946 to 1949 as the simpler, lower-cost companion to the Cessna 140. Without the 140's wing flaps and rear side windows, the 120 is a basic, economical and characterful vintage aircraft that introduced many pilots to flying. See the live price range and median above for the Cessna 120 listings currently on the market.
Produced 1946–1951.
