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.
