Does anyone know what that last thing is, the Meridian looking thing (very end of Part 10)?
Glad to share something with these old Cessna photos, and I did not mean to upstage USMC and the Bill Lear airplane. Just widening the subject to include more experimental GA aircraft of the day.
The Meridian Cessna was photographed at Cessna's Pawnee single engine piston experimental development facility a couple of years ago and aired in Avweb. Word about town was Cessna was thinking about an airplane to counter the single engine King Air at Beechcraft. I never heard any more about the Cessna airplane and I am not even sure it flew. It would seem to be a genuine experimental airplane, but who knows. The fuselage appears to be borrowed from the Mustang.
