1978 Cessna 180K Skywagon

The Ultimate All-Season Adventure Machine! If you’ve ever dreamed of flying your family up to the cottage on a Friday afternoon, landing right at the dock, or heading north for a weekend of fishing and hunting where roads can’t take you — this aircraft makes that dream real. This late-model Cessna 180K combines the rugged reliability and performance of the legendary Skywagon line with all the right upgrades for today’s pilot. With long-range tanks, a factory float kit, and fittings for skis, this airplane is built for true four-season versatility — from snow to water to pavement. Whether you’re cruising to your lakefront cabin, exploring remote wilderness strips, or flying to a northern lodge with friends, the 180K does it all — efficiently, safely, and in style. Imported to Canada in 2003 after a minor float incident (nose-over). One wing was professionally repaired with new paint and interior at that time. The aircraft has flown flawlessly for over 20 years since, always well-maintained and stored indoors. Owner upgraded to a Cessna 185 on amphibian floats — this aircraft deserves a new pilot ready to keep the adventure going. From family weekends at the lake to backcountry trips far off the grid, this Cessna 180K lets you live the life aviation was meant for — rugged, reliable, and ready to go wherever your next story begins.
