The Cessna 150 is a two-seat tricycle gear general aviation airplane that was designed for flight training, touring and personal use. The 1968 model 150 was designated the “H”. It introduced a new-style center console, designed to improve legroom. A new electric flap switch was also fitted that allowed “hands-off” retraction of the flaps, but not an extension.
