Description

Flybuyer Aircraft Sales presents this clean, early-model Skywagon with the right upgrades for backcountry and float operations.  Powered by a P.Ponk O-470-50 and riding on EDO 2870s floats, this 180 blends classic lines with mission-ready capability.  With low total time, extended fuel and a strong engine and prop combo, it’s ready for work or adventure.  A recent two-year mechanical and cosmetic refresh included rebuilt cowling, new engine baffling and thorough nose-to-tail inspection and updates—all performed with attention to detail by a knowledgeable owner.
