About the Cessna 150

The Cessna 150 is the classic two-seat trainer that taught generations of pilots — produced 1958-1977 with a Continental O-200 (100 hp) and a cruise around 97 knots. Simple, cheap to run and one of the most common ways people learned to fly in the latter half of the 20th century. The Aerobat (A150) variant adds aerobatic capability. Limited useful load with two adults and full fuel, but unbeatable as a cost-of-ownership entry into aircraft ownership.

Produced 1959–1977. Total produced: 23,839.
