The Cessna 180 Skywagon stands as general aviation's most successful tailwheel aircraft, defining the bush flying category for three decades. First flying in 1952, it was a high-wing single-engine monoplane powered by a Continental O-470 engine that could carry four to six occupants or equivalent cargo. With its 36-foot wingspan and distinctive conventional landing gear, the 180 proved ideally suited for operations from unpaved airstrips. Manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company, it became the benchmark for backcountry aviation worldwide. AviatorDB tracks 80,538 Cessna aircraft currently registered in the FAA database. The ICAO type designator for this aircraft model is C180.
