I was at Oshkosh this year TON'S of 195's there!!

[@kentd4762]

Thank you, -195 Aviators for keeping this beautiful plane alive, and thank you, AVweb, for this video.

[@haroldnelson3734]

Love the 195! Awesome, growling radial engine. Such beautiful, classic lines. GORGEOUS!!

[@SearTrip]

We had two 195s based at the airport where I worked in the tower. I liked calling traffic, telling someone to follow the Business Liner on final. The pilots seemed to get a kick out of that.

[@ddthompson42]

I fell in love with the 195 watching Curtis’ show, The Aviators, a few years back. Now, I’m the proud owner of a Cessna 195… in Flight Sim 2020, but it feels so real. Glad to see he’s still involved in aviation!

[@ackack612]

...who doesn't love this aircraft...could watch this for hours. Thx AVweb!

[@CCitis]

I think it's one of the best looking airplanes out there.

[@RAo-hx8jc]

Thst is truly a classic one of the most beautiful lanes ever made

[@MacPoop]

I got to see several of these 195's at the Ranger antique airfield in Ranger TX this past Saturday, recognized a couple tail numbers

[@hillcrestannie]

Nothing like that big round tail. That why I own a 170. Beautiful Airplane!

[@iowapanner2223]

My wife liked the polished ones so much she said I could get one... now I just need to learn to fly!

[@davidholubetz177]

go for it !

[@stevefreeland9255]

Such a lovely aircraft. Great video too!

[@BlaineNay]

The 195 is a mighty handsome airplane.

[@spanieaj]

My cousin owned that yellow and white 195 at one time. It was an N registration at the time. It was the plane for which I had my first flight when I was very young in the early 70's. I remember it was BIG and there was no way I could see over that instrument panel. 😁

[@bluetickfreddy101]

Beautiful plane Great production Thank you very much From a previous 1974 C310 Q owner Cheers Fyi Had a cal to NY fuel stop at Joliet 25 years ago

[@RealWoutLies]

Blues Brothers have me chills, and your plane is gorgeous.

[@joeblow5037]

What a beautiful bird

[@john3Lee]

A lovely looking aircraft !!

[@JimHausch]

These are so incredibly gorgeous airplanes. It's amazing to think this airplane and the V-tail Bonanza hit the market at the same time.

[@jameschristiansson3137]

When I see a 195 I have a tendency to stare.

[@melodijanelacy8168]

It was awesome to see a lot of y’all at KFSO and your beautiful planes

[@dbucciar]

Beautiful, historic airplane. Great video.

[@gadixH]

beautiful

[@vgrof2315]

Thanks

[@calbob750]

In 1950 the 195 was a Cessna 120 owners dream. If only you had the $12,000.

[@SkylaneGuy]

I want one of these so bad. Just got to get a bit more tailwheel time.

[@tow.JanWinnicki]

Beautiful! Serwus!

[@skyhawk_4526]

This brings back great memories. When I was a teenager (about 35 years ago), a good family friend owned a Cessna 195 (N195BG) and took me and my best friend up in it a few times. It was also the first and only GA plane my mom ever flew in. She came with us once and got to sit right seat and have a go at the controls for a few minutes while we were over UC Davis.

[@justforever96]

Imagine all the ground looping at that field that weekend...

[@bradleyfountaine]

One day!

[@hoffmanaeronautics6192]

I regret that I can only give one thumb up.

[@mtkoslowski]

Lovely ❤

[@wadepatton2433]

Saw a nice one for sale online a few minutes ago. Great plane, but I'm not a pilot -yet.

[@wayneschenk5512]

Magic.

[@gregknipe8772]

nothing like mellow rumble of these engines.

[@brianbob7514]

Those look nice

[@davidwhite2011]

How many still flying?

[@cherokeeflyer9669]

Is there a version without the annoying music? I’d like to hear what they are saying.

[@yuniorprades3023]

Realy clouser design to a birds 👏 like it

[@jackcannan9045]

Bet that thing would do well with a turbine conversion

[@GT47179]

Location?????

[@TheJustinJ]

Pretty airplane, does what it was designed to do, just obsolete on arrival. The jet age had already arrived. And fighters sported retracts.

[@BlueBaron3339]

Love the plane but, please, Cessna 195 owners attempting to dance... 🤣

[@mtkoslowski]

Look, it comes down to this: White men should only ever be allowed to dance *ONCE.* With their daughters at their wedding reception. And of course with their wives at their own reception. That’s it!

[@shockflyer71]

I love this plane so much. ✈️❤️

[@richarddavenport31]

DON'T FORGET THE CESSNA 195 THAT CRASHED IN THE TRINITY MOUNTAINS, CALIFORNIA DURING WINTER WHERE 3 PEOPLE STARVED TO DEATH IN 1967. NO ONE COULD FIND THEM UNDER THE SNOW. MIRACULOUSLY THEY LIVED 2 MONTHS IN THE PLANE AND MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR LOCATOR BEACONS TO BE PUT IN ALL PLANES. READ ABOUT IT IN "FINDING CARLA"!!!!!!
