Cessna 188
The Cessna 188 Agwagon was built specifically for agricultural flying, with a strong airframe, chemical hopper, and cockpit positioned high above the wing. Colombian-built examples extended its working life in Latin America. Its low-level crop-spraying role is far removed from Cessna’s familiar touring aircraft.

Like the 185, this Agwagon variant was assembled locally in Colombia rather than shipped from Cessna's factory in the United States.
