The Cessna 152 is the flight school workhorse. Two seats, one engine, and a stall speed so low you could land it on a tennis court.
Fun fact
Cessna built 7,584 C152s between 1977 and 1985. Thousands are still in daily flight training use.
How to spot one
Smaller than 172, only two seats. High wing, fixed gear. Often the first plane a pilot ever flies.
