-- PROVENANCE NOTE --
These items come from a large, professionally curated collection of vintage aviation brochures, training materials, and OEM publications originally owned by a Cessna Sales Manager at Rogue Valley Skyways in Medford, Oregon. Most pieces date from the 1960s and 1970s and were preserved for decades in a smoke‑free, climate‑controlled environment with no exposure to moisture or extreme temperatures. Many additional rare Cessna‑related brochures and factory materials from the same collection are available; to view them, scroll to the bottom of this listing and click the blue bar to see all my items.
DESCRIPTION
Offered here is a matched set of two original 1969 Cessna Skylane / Model 182 dealer sales brochures, accompanied by the factory‑issued “Cost of Operation” performance and ownership‑cost sheet. All three pieces are authentic 1969 Cessna marketing materials, not reprints, and come from a clean, climate‑controlled collection.
These brochures were used by Cessna dealers to present the 1969 Skylane’s capabilities, performance, cabin layout, and operating economics to prospective owners. The included cost sheet is a period‑correct bonus that breaks down fuel burn, maintenance expectations, and annual operating estimates — a rare survivor that adds historical and collector value.
All items are in excellent condition with no tears, no dog‑eared corners, no stains, and no writing. Crisp colors, clean edges, and strong gloss make these ideal for framing, display, or archival preservation.

SHORT HISTORICAL NOTES
1969 Cessna Skylane (Model 182) By 1969, the Skylane had become Cessna’s premier high‑performance single. The 182 offered a powerful Continental O‑470 engine, strong climb performance, and a generous useful load, making it a favorite for families, business owners, and back‑country pilots. The late‑’60s brochures reflect Cessna’s push toward comfort, reliability, and modernized styling, including the swept tail and updated avionics Sheets These sheets were produced in small quantities for dealer use only. They helped prospective buyers understand real‑world ownership costs and were rarely saved, making surviving examples desirable for collectors, historians, and type‑rated pilots.
