Notes: 10/17/03 - This pretty 195B is the 11th from the last of the classic1947-55, Cessna 195 series. Roger Currier of Currier's Flying Service operates N2187C in his scenic tours and charter business. I've seen photos of it on Federal 3500 skis, and it's sharp!
Many (most?) 195's have been ground-looped at one time or another. N2187C has humiliated several pilots in her career. She was "bent" when Currier bought her. I've never flown one, and although most of my time is taildragger I'd approach it with a lot of humility if I ever got the chance. "Someday!" |
