The Cessna 205, 206, and 207, known variously as the Super Skywagon, Skywagon, Stationair, and Super Skylane are a family of single-engined, general aviation aircraft with fixed landing gear, used in commercial air service and also for personal use. The family was originally developed from the popular retractable-gear Cessna 210 and is produced by Cessna.The line's combination of a powerful engine, rugged construction and a large cabin has made the 206 very popular.

 

Cessna has described the 206 as "the sport-utility vehicle of the air." These airplanes are also used for aerial photography, skydiving and other utility purposes. They can also be equipped with amphibious floats and skis. Alternatively, they can be fitted with luxury configured interior for use as a personal air transport. From 1962 to 2006 Cessna produced 8,509 aircraft in the 205, 206 and 207 variants..
