Detailed Description

The Cessna of a lifetime! A perfect specimen for flying to lakes, rivers or the sea. This 1971 Cessna A185E Amphibious Skywagon has been Pacific Northwest-based for its entire life, first as a Canadian wheel plane and then as a floatplane in Washington State. It has 9173 TTAF, 376 SFRM on its 300-HP, 1,900-hour TBO Continental IO-520-D engine and a great collection of installed avionics. N518HJ is presently mounted on Edo Model 597-2790 Amphibious Floats with retractable landing gear. It also comes with the original landing gear struts and wheels and will include a set of Edo Model 2960 Straight Floats with purchase.  This is a beautiful airplane and will be the envy of backcountry pilots everywhere. Located at Bellingham International Airport (KBLI) in Bellingham, WA.
