This Cessna was retired by the Civil Air Patrol in 2024 having operated it since 1986. It was the only civilian aircraft authorised to fly in and around New York City on 12 September 2001 after the 9/11 terror attacks when the airspace was otherwise closed to civil traffic, performing aerial photography of the area surrounding the destroyed World Trade Center. In March 2024 it arrived at the NMUSAF and has been put on display in the Cold War gallery
