1953 Cessna 180

Overview
Great opportunity for a young person, breaking into the industry! This aircraft would be very difficult and expensive to manufacture today - its got all the mods a backcountry professional would want. Extended cargo & pod, increased gross weight, 270+ hp engine with an extended TBO, wing extensions, etc. The seller was a guide in the Arctic for many years. Unfortunately, things just aren't they way they used to be and he isn't getting younger so time to sell. If you're the person who still knows some secret spots, this is plane to take you there!
