This 1952 Cessna 170B (VH-CCP), affectionately known as "Charlie", is a well-maintained classic taildragger that combines vintage character with excellent touring capability. Cruising comfortably at 100 knots while burning just 30–32 litres per hour, it has proven itself as a reliable cross-country aircraft, carrying camping gear, bicycles, and passengers throughout Australia. The desirable B-model Fowler flaps provide excellent short-field performance, while upgraded tyres, Cleveland wheels, and brakes further enhance its bush-strip capability.
Maintained by Nelson Aviation in Corowa, VH-CCP has benefited from extensive preventative maintenance and upgrades over the past five years. With a low-time engine since top overhaul, ADS-B Out, NVFR capability, Mogas STC approval, and numerous airframe improvements, this aircraft represents a practical and dependable ownership opportunity. While showing the honest signs of a 74-year-old working aircraft, it remains a solid, reliable, and highly capable touring taildragger ready for its next custodian.Cessna
