Back in the day, the Cessna 190 series was marketed as the “Businessliner,” although it really wasn’t the first light aircraft to serve a business traveling role. These airplanes are classics now, but still work we’ll for hauling people and stuff just as they did 80-something years ago.
It might look intimidating, but for the skilled tailwheel pilot and well-maintained aircraft, a Cessna 190/195 isn’t tough to fly. Think of it as the link between the poorly harmonized, high adverse yaw radial-engine classics of the 1930s with the feet-on-the floor machines of today, carrying on only the adverse yaw.
