Cessna Floatplane Maintenance Undercarriage
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of aviation in the 1960s, as a Cessna 195 floatplane, registration CF-GCK, undergoes engine maintenance on land. The sleek and agile floatplane sits on the grassy shoreline, its large pontoons extending into the calm water behind. The undercarriage, with its wheels retracted, is raised, providing easy access to the engine for the mechanic in the foreground. He diligently works on the engine, his focused expression and tools spread out around him. The Cessna 195, a popular and versatile aircraft during this era, was renowned for its ability to take off and land on water, making it an ideal choice for recreational pilots and bush pilots in remote areas. The serene setting, with the sun casting long shadows and the gentle reflection of the aircraft on the water, adds to the timeless appeal of this image. This photograph is a testament to the romance and adventure of aviation in the 1960s, and the dedication and skill of the pilots and mechanics who made it possible.
