It was built to meet an army spec but lost out to the DHC-2 Beaver. -- Andrew Chaplin SIT MIHI GLADIUS SICUT SANCTO MARTINO (If you're going to e-mail me, you'll have to get "yourfinger." out.) |

It was built to meet an army spec but lost out to the DHC-2 Beaver. Actually the Army did buy some, calling it the LC-126, but never in the numbers Cessna hoped. They advertized it on the civilian market as the "Businessliner" but it was not much of a success. It consumed more oil than the Beaver, which I can relate from personal experience consumed a lot. At every landing it was "fill the oil and check the gas".... |

Thanks for the info . . .
My father probably would have said the same . . .being that he was a flight engineer on many aircrafts of the period (50s and up until the early 60s) He flew quite a bit in Canada's north resuppl;ying radar stations, and a lot more . . .
