The Cessna 205, 206, and 207, known variously as the Skywagon, Super Skywagon, and Stationair is a development of the popular Cessna line of high-wing, single-engine piston aircraft used for general aviation. It was actually developed as a cheaper, fixed-gear alternative to the Cessna 210 Centurion, then the most expensive single-engine piston aircraft Cessna manufactured. Its powerful engine, rugged construction and relatively large cabin has made it a somewhat popular bush-plane, and Cessna touts it as "the sport-utility vehicle of the air." It is also often used for skydiving and other utility purposes. Alternatively, it can be fitted with luxury appointments for use as a personal air transport. The aircraft remains in production as of 2004.
