About the Cessna 185 Skywagon

The Cessna 185 Skywagon is the workhorse that opened the backcountry. Introduced in 1961 as a more powerful evolution of the tailwheel 180, the 185 paired a 300-horsepower Continental IO-520 with Cessna's proven high-wing design and added a strengthened fuselage, beefier landing gear, and a cargo door wide enough to swallow canoes, moose quarters, or drilling equipment. It became the definitive bush plane across Alaska, Canada, New Zealand, and remote regions worldwide, equally at home on gravel bars, tundra tires, skis, or floats.

Production ran until 1985, but the type remains in heavy use today, prized for its ability to haul 1,400 pounds of payload into and out of places with no runway at all. The 185's short-field performance is legendary: it can clear a 50-foot obstacle in under 1,000 feet on takeoff and land in similar distances, making it the aircraft of choice for wilderness lodges, fish-and-game agencies, and adventure operators. Its rugged construction and forgiving handling have earned it a reputation for reliability in conditions that would ground lesser aircraft.

While not fast (cruise is around 145 knots), the Skywagon's real mission is getting people and cargo to the end of the map and back. SkyMeter has tracked flights across airframes and operators, with the largest observed operator.
