HISTORY

  • Built by Cessna in Wichita, Kansas, the Cessna 182 Skylane is a single-engine piston, four-seat, aluminum alloy airplane that was introduced in 1956 and is still in production. It is a popular light plane with several variants. The 182 first production version had fixed landing gear powered by a Continental O-470L-L engine. Cessna has produced almost 24,000 182 Skylanes since its development from the 180 model. The 182 has had one of the longest production runs for any General Aviation aircraft.
  • The Museum's Skylane is a 182D model built in 1961 powered by a carbureted Continental O-470-L piston engine, with fixed landing gear, better ground stability, and about 100 lbs heavier than the initial version.  This aircraft is used to ferry pilots from airshows and other events.
