Description
SOLD - Great opportunity for a young person, breaking into the industry! This aircraft would be very difficult and expensive to manufacture today - its got all the mods a backcountry professional would want. Extended cargo pod, increased gross weight, 270+ hp engine with an extended TBO, wing extensions, etc. The seller was a guide in the Arctic for many years. Unfortunately, things just aren't they way they used to be and he isn't getting younger so time to sell. If you're the person who still knows some secret spots, this is plane to take you there!
About the Cessna 180
The Cessna 180 Skywagon is the original taildragger utility single — produced 1953-1981 with a Continental O-470 (225 hp) and a strong reputation as one of the best backcountry, float and ski aircraft ever built. Six-seat configurations were available later, and the 180 became a fixture of bush flying in Alaska, Canada and remote operations worldwide. Cruise around 145 knots; useful load comfortable for four adults plus gear.
Produced 1953–1981.
