The Cessna 206 Stationair, often called the "station wagon of the air," became general aviation's premier six-seat utility aircraft for backcountry operations and cargo hauling. First flown in 1962, it is a high-wing, single-engine aircraft powered by a Continental IO-520 series engine, seating up to six passengers or carrying substantial cargo through its distinctive clamshell rear doors. With a wingspan of 36 feet and gross weight of 3,600 pounds, the 206 bridged the gap between smaller four-seat aircraft and expensive twin-engine planes. Manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company, production has exceeded 8,500 units across all variants since 1964. AviatorDB tracks 80,538 Cessna aircraft currently registered in the FAA database.
