Interesting facts about the Cessna 195
✈ Cessna built the 190 and 195 series from 1947 to 1954, marketing the 195 as the “Businessliner” for personal and business travel.
✈ The Cessna 195 uses a Jacobs R-755A2 seven cylinder radial engine rated at 300 hp, paired with a constant speed propeller in standard form.
✈ Buyers often choose the 195 for its cabin feel, it seats up to five with two front seats and a rear bench, which suits family travel and owner flown business trips.
✈ Many aircraft served in utility roles, including light charter work, corporate transport and back country style touring where tailwheel capability helps on unimproved strips.
✈ The US military operated versions as the LC-126 and later U-20, using them for liaison, communications and instrument training duties.
✈ Some aircraft were equipped to operate on floats or skis, which broadened mission options for owners who fly in remote or seasonal conditions.
✈ The type’s performance and handling reward careful technique, which is why many owners invest in focused tailwheel training during checkout and transition.
✈ The 195 remains a popular restoration target, because upgraded avionics and interiors can combine modern usability with classic 1940s and 1950s design.
Model Variants for buyers to consider when purchasing a Cessna 195
The Cessna 195 sits within the wider 190 and 195 Businessliner family, where the key differences relate to engine fit and mission equipment. The Cessna 190 used a Continental W670-23 engine while the Cessna 195 adopted the more powerful Jacobs R-755A2 rated at 300 hp, which is the version most buyers associate with the classic Businessliner name. Later updates included the Cessna 195A with a Jacobs L-4MB (R-755-9) and the Cessna 195B with a Jacobs R-755B2, with the 195B also gaining larger flaps compared with earlier models. Military versions include the LC-126A, LC-126B and LC-126C, which served as communication and liaison aircraft and could be fitted with skis or floats, later redesignated as the U-20B and U-20C. When comparing listings, confirm the exact variant, engine model and any mission specific modifications, because these details can affect performance, operating costs and parts planning.
