Description

// BULKHEAD KIT (NO MORE AD). 5th SEATBELT STC. VG KIT. UPGRADED PANEL. //

Some airplanes spend their lives trying to prove why they're legends. This one just keeps showing up for work!

Donny Gabriel with Mason Amelia is thrilled to bring to market this heavy-hauling, no-excuses, upgraded '78 RG. N3268C is a working-class airplane with honest time, thoughtful upgrades, and plenty of life left in the tank.

The Aspen Primary Flight Display, S-TEC 30 two-axis autopilot, Garmin GNS430W GPS, Garmin GTX 345 ADS-B In/Out transponder, and JPI Engine Monitor transform this into a legitimate cross-country traveler that feels just as comfortable 500 miles from home as it does in the local area.

Prefer a more relaxed mission? Load up four passengers, crack the windows open, and ride out! The vortex generators sharpen an already legendary Skylane, while the STC'd fifth seatbelt lets you bring four passengers along for the ride. It's everything people love about a 182, just with one more seat to fill! When it's time to cover some ground, climb up, lean it out, and settle into a 150+ KTAS cruise. Either way, you'll be reminded why the retractable Skylane has such a loyal following.

If there's one thing we can say about the venerable Cessna 182RG, it's that this airplane stands tall on its own. Safe, reliable, comfortable, and affordable to own, it's the aviation equivalent of a well-kept pickup truck: never flashy, always useful, and ready whenever you are. There's a reason insurance companies and flight schools love them. They're among the most honest airplanes ever built, and N3268C stays true to that reputation.
