    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. For more information, and to see our photo album with over 300 photos of the aircraft and its logs, contact Broker Jeffrey Lustick at (360) 510-1139 or go to TomahawkAero.com.
