Cessna U-3B N5215G vintage style military aviation travel poster art by – Squadron Posters!
Popularly known in the U.S. Air Force as the “Blue Canoe,” the U-3 is the military version of the Cessna 310 light twin-engine transport. The U-3B variant was delivered in 1960-1961 as an all-weather type with more powerful engines, a longer nose, and a swept vertical tail. With its older-style “tuna tanks,” N5215G served Civil Air Patrol’s Alaska Wing in the 1970s following service in Vietnam. It was later discovered and purchased by the Alaska Wing’s Capt. Tim Maynard and his wife, Maj. Deb Maynard, who have restored and repainted it with a Kennedy era-inspired livery.
The Cessna 310 is an American four-to-six-seat, low-wing, twin-engine monoplane produced by Cessna between 1954 and 1980. It was the first twin-engine aircraft that Cessna put into production following its first twin, the Cessna T-50 manufactured for World War II.
