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.
