Historical description:

The Cessna 185 Skywagon was developed as a successor to the popular Cessna 180 and, from the early 1960s, saw widespread use in both civil and military aviation. Serial production continued from 1961 to 1985, with total production exceeding 4,400 units. The American Cessna 185 became renowned as an extremely durable and reliable light utility aircraft with versatile applications – serving in Alaska, Africa, Australia, among others, as a transport, ambulance, liaison aircraft, and even a floatplane. The name Skywagon is firmly rooted in history thanks to the aircraft’s use during the Vietnam War (U-17A/B/C variant for the USAF) and its participation in numerous rescue missions.

Military versions were supplied to allied nations during the Cold War period, making this aircraft an icon of both civil and military aviation in many countries around the world.
