Agreed.

Thanks.

They always do, don't they?

Great jump planes. The gear is right there to stand on too, before you go.

OK, Will do. Thanks.

You got it!

Hi Kevin! Editing is a trade off. I'm a one man camera operator and editor. Sometimes, the shot works, and sometimes it just doesn't. The interior to exterior shot was framed too high to capture the landing, so I used the exterior shot. But, I really appreciate the insight into what our viewers want to see. - Don the camera guy.

Hey, no problem whatsoever. The trade-off is that we saw Mark grease the landing. Job well done.

Thanks.

Yes, after 30 years I lose a few T's and slip into the local language.

Awesome thank you!

We have a beautiful 53 180 that we are going to fly and talk about in an upcoming video. You will like it. It is very photogenic.

The airport is on a hill and has no over-run. They shortened it from 4200 feet to 3900 or something and closed the end taxi-ways. It is for IFR traffic etc. The other taxiway is further up to give more room. It's just paint and politics. The full length is best used for safety.

Yeah, baby! It was super groovy!

It was a bit of orange fluff that is crammed into the cabin air intake to keep wasps, bees, and other annoying pests from entering the cabin.

I had a Harley, but have sold it, It was a Heritage classic soft tail.

@@skywagonuniversity5023 Heritage Classic will be my last one. Will you or have you purchased another one since this filming? Funny how so many pilots are into motorcycles and boats too.⁉️😊🍀 In any case you did tip your hand when mentioning the modifications possible. Just like a Harley. Only another HD owner would know that⁉️! I have a bmw k75 which is quite often modified for racing or cafe. It must be awesome going to and from work, considering the roads you take⁉️😜

It's Don the cameraman.

TU_Alum. Respectfully, little of what you posted is accurate.

@@n70199 Respectfully, what are you taking issue with? I worked at a seaplane base in Louisiana during most of the 1960s and this was the case, just as I described. The Cessna 180 was usually referred to simply as the 180 and the Skywagon name was used to describe the 185, when it came out. The more powerful 185 Skywagon was a significant improvement, especially when heavier amphibious floats were used. The main drawback of the early 185s was that the fuel injected engines would sometimes be hard to start and sometimes would not shut down immediately when the mixture was pulled, which made straight-in docking tricky. I don't claim any expertise in this area and I can only relate what I saw and lived with at the time. It may be that in later years that Cessna began to blend the two models together under the same name, since the two airframes have so much in common. As far as my inaccurate post, since you are so knowledgeable, maybe you can enlighten the rest of us.

@@tu_alum5619 well, there are late model 180s that use the 185 fuselage with three windows and larger tail. Skywagon was also applied to the 206 at one point but I see that moniker applied frequently these days to 180s. You're right, with all the mods out there, the distinctions between 180s and 185s have diminished somewhat.

@@tu_alum5619 in 1964, the Cessna 180 received the third window. In 1969 Cessna adds the name “Skywagon” to the 180 series. A 180 has very specific features as does a 185 for each year they were produced. These differences are clearly specified in numerous resources including one at Skywagons.com and these differences have not blurred over time.

Both 180's and 185's are called Skywagons and indeed the 206's are too in the early years. 185's are injected 470's from 1961 to 1966 and injected 520's after that until 1985. All 185's have three side windows and 180's got that 3 window fuselage in 1964 until 1981. The 61, 62, 63 180's had the raised roof "three window" cabin but only had two windows in them. Float kits are a factory option. I have videos on all this if you want to see them.
