1951 Cessna L-19A/O1 Bird Dog

This 1951 Cessna L-19A/O1 Bird Dog, originally delivered to the US Army National Reserve, underwent a comprehensive refurbishment between 2018 and 2021, now featuring a dark olive green livery with shark-mouth nose art and US Army lettering. With approximately 7,900 airframe hours, it boasts numerous upgrades including dual stick controls, hydraulic disc brakes, electric flaps, Garmin communication equipment, a touchscreen GPS, and wing-mounted air-to-ground rockets. Power comes from a Continental O-470 flat-six with 900 hours since overhaul, driving a Noyes Enterprises-STC fixed-pitch cruise propeller.
