April 2023
A resident Cessna spotted at San Carlos Airport. The Cessna 170B was introduced in 1952, featuring a new wing carried over from the military L-19 version of the 170. The B model was equipped with very effective Fowler wing flaps which deflect up to 40°, a wing design that lives on in Cessna light singles of today. The 170B was marketed in 1952 for $7245 ($86K in 2024 dollars). Over 5,100 were produced from 1948–1956.
