Appearances

License to Kill
On their way to Felix Leiter's (David Hedison) wedding, James Bond (Timothy Dalton) and Felix had to make a detour making a mid air arrest of Franz Sanchez (Robert Davi), Sanchez was trying to flea in a Cessna 172P. From the Dauphin Coast Guard helicopter shadowing the Cessna, 007 is lowered down midair to the Cessna, attaching a wire to the planes tail.

Goldeneye
The plane James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) and Natalya Simonova (Izabella Scorupco) flies to Cuba in is a 1984 Cessna 172P Skyhawk. The plane is delivered by Jack Wade (Joe Don Baker), a CIA officer Bond met in St. Petersburg. Bond and Natalya flies to Cuba scouting for the Janus' base. But they are shot down over a lake. After making an emergency landing they witness the appearing of a big telescope from the lake.

After filming

One of the four planes used for the filming of 'License to Kill' was discovered advertising for a skydiving company in Sugarloaf Airport, Sugarloaf Key, Florida. The plane is the one actually lifted and towed by the Coast Guard helicopter. It has a smaller engine just making the propellor spinning during the filming. After been discovered in Sugarloaf Key it has now been aquired by The Ian Fleming Foundation and restored.
