Cessna 303The Cessna 303, also called the Crusader, is a 6-place light twin. First flown on February 14, 1978, it was originally design as a four place twin that would have competed with the Piper Seminole, Grumman American Cougar, and Beech Duchess. After market demand for 4-place light twins declined, Cessna redesigned the aircraft as a 6 place twin. The new model, designated the T303, began rolling off the production line for delivery in October of 1981. At the time it was the first all-new production twin built by Cessna in over a decade.
