robert burkholder says May 19, 2015 at 4:38 pm There is only 1 bird that could maybe be better or equal ,,,, C 185! !!!
Mike Magnell says May 19, 2015 at 5:58 am That is correct it is a Skywagon. I own a 1976 Skywagon 180. The difference is the Skywagon is a taildragger and the Skylane is a nose dragged!
Paul Berge says May 19, 2015 at 5:14 am Beautiful picture, but the airplane appears to be a taildragger so, perhaps, a C-180 or C185 Sky Wagon instead of a Skylane?
Calvin Harper says May 19, 2015 at 5:41 am Yes, looks like early C-180, rear window and what appears to be the wide cowl flaps of the 180
David says May 18, 2015 at 6:44 pm You might check the model. Don’t think skylanes have a wheel in the back.
