The International Cessna^® 170 Association

June 1, 1948

First flight of Cessna 170.

The Cessna 170 is a general aviation aircraft produced by the Cessna Aircraft Company between 1948 and 1956. Over 5,000 were built, and over 2,000 are still accounted for today. The Cessna 170 landing gear is a taildragger configuration. It was replaced by the Cessna 172 which became the most popular light plane in history.

I have been meaning to buy a calculator. I have this problem sometimes when I loose track of how many passes I make over my fingers and toes to do ciphering.
