Cessna 175C Skylark - a rare machine

 A recent visit to Warsaw-Bemowo airfield found Cessna 175C Skylark SP-FYZ - the aircraft looks in excellent condition. This example was built in 1962,  the 175 Skylark was only in production between 1958-1962. 

 

 

SP-FYZ was registered in Poland in July 2001 having been imported from Sweden as SE-CXO. It was initially based at Suwalki. I saw FYZ at Lisie Katy in 2008 and at Bemowo in 2019 and 2020. The Skylark features a geared Continental GO-300C engine. Approx 2,100 Skylarks were built before Cessna ceased production. 

One other Skylark in Poland is SP-KYM a Cessna 175B variant built in 1961.
