Cessna 150
Aircraft Overview:
The Cessna 150 was the first aircraft purchased by Griffon Aviation, and has proved to be an essential part of Griffon's operation right from day one.
The Cessna 150 is the starting block for most pilots past and present. Most pilots, be they PPL or Commercial will have fond memories of these worthy little aircraft.
5B-CIW has been a good friend to many of our students on their first flight and boasts some 203 first solo's, not to mention the number of students that have passed their fight test in this aircraft.
