The Cessna 150 is a two-seat single engined high wing light aircraft of

The Model 142 was based on the tail-wheel Model 140. After the Cessna 142 N34258

for these known as Patroller options. Later, these configurations were joined by the top-end Commuter II and
the aerobatic Aerobat models. When production ended in 1977 a total of 23840 airframes were built. The ICAO
