About the Cessna 207 Stationair 7

The Cessna 207 Skywagon is a stretched, seven-seat variant of the ubiquitous Cessna 206, purpose-built for bush operations, air taxi work, and remote cargo hauling where short strips and heavy loads are the norm. Introduced in 1969, the 207 added 12 inches of fuselage length behind the wing to accommodate an extra row of seats, making it one of the largest single-engine piston aircraft Cessna ever produced for the civilian market. Powered by a 300-horsepower Continental IO-520 engine, it can haul up to 1,500 pounds of payload into backcountry strips that would ground most twins, and its high-wing design with strut bracing provides excellent visibility and rugged simplicity for operators in Alaska, Canada, and the developing world.

The type earned a reputation for being nearly indestructible, overbuilt for the punishment of daily floatplane and gravel-bar operations, though it sacrifices speed and refinement for that utility, cruising at a modest 140 knots and requiring careful weight-and-balance planning with a full cabin. Production ended in 1984 after roughly 700 airframes were built, but the 207 remains a workhorse in remote regions where reliability and load capacity matter more than comfort or efficiency. SkyMeter has tracked flights across airframes and operators, with the largest observed operator.
