Photo Comment

From 1957 the USAF bought 160 Cessna 310s as light administrative liaison, cargo and utility transports under the original designation L-27A, later changed to U-3A. 35 more were delivered in 1960-1961 as U-3Bs with upgraded specification. This one was decommissioned in 1972 and arrived at the AMC Museum in 2.09
