Description

This 1978 Cessna 182Q is a clean, well-kept example with excellent pedigree and a low-time engine. The aircraft retains its factory radio stack, complemented by an upgraded transponder for modern airspace requirements. A straightforward, honest 182 with a strong history, desirable low-time powerplant, and the proven performance and utility that have made the Skylane one of Cessna’s most sought-after aircraft.
