About the 180 Skywagon

The Cessna 180 Skywagon is a fixed-wing aircraft originating from the United States. It is configured as a single-engine utility and liaison aircraft featuring a traditional tailwheel landing gear layout, designed to suit private owners and commercial operators working in rugged environments.
