The Cessna 120 was a two-place, enclosed cockpit, high-wing monoplane manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Corporation of Wichita, Kansas. After World War II, Cessna ended military aircraft production and resumed building commercial aircraft. The first planes produced were the Models 120 and 140 in 1945. The 120 was basically a stripped-down version of the 140, with its most innovative feature being its spring-steel landing gear. The base price of the original plane was $2,495. There were 2,164 of these aircraft produced over its production run.

This Model 120, NC2660N, was manufactured by Cessna in 1947. It is on loan to the museum from Lisa Moment of Urbana, Illinois.
