Cessna 185 Skywagon

As far as the 185 is concerned, all that's true for the 180 is true and then some for the light and rugged 185, which was one of Cessna's longest-produced aircraft, getting its start in 1961 and continuing to be built until 1985. The 185 is powered by Continental six-cylinder engines, the 470 early on and, later, 520-series engines of up to 300-hp, giving it a payload of around 1,400 pounds. Because of their capacity and power, 185s are popular floatplanes. First flight: July 1960. Number built: More than 4,400. Status: Out of production.
