About the Cessna 185
The Cessna 185 Skywagon is the bigger, more-powerful taildragger Skywagon — produced 1961-1985 with a 300 hp Continental IO-520 and six seats. Effectively a 180 with more engine, the 185 is the heavyweight bush taildragger — favoured for serious backcountry, float and utility operations where the 180 runs out of useful load. Cruise around 145 knots; useful load comfortable for six.
Produced 1961–1985. Total produced: 4,400.
