I think it outlines the entire vertical stab, and rudder, too. You can also see how the pattern on the top of the wing looks, thanks to the wing fences. I haven't seen wing fences on a 172 or 182 before. Anyone else??

Cheers,
Mike

Yeah I thank its a little older then the one we have but looks great none the less. Going off the cawing it looks to be from the late 60's or early 70's. It looks sleek and it's hard to match up on the pics I found of the 182's.

EDIT: second thought I don't thank it's a 182 at all. Look at the rear window. I can't find a match to it at all.

EDIT: I thank I got it! It looks like it's a 206.

Thats a beautiful picture, the 182 looks like a '60 or '61 IMHO the best looking 182 of the series. :D

I'm so wrong. Just found it it's a 185 but I can't find another in tricycle landing gear they all appear to be tail dragers.

This thread inspired me to find some grass strips that are close to lakes that are tucked away in the mountains (or at least high hills). Here's a few for those of you who may wish to indulge in this brand of very scenic flying:
Sullivan Lake State, Washington (09S)
Cavanaugh Bay, Idaho (66S)
Tieton State, Washington (4S6)

I know the owner of this aircraft. The fastback 182 is a great airplane. The image is at lake Sullivan in Washington state. Pretty sure it is.

The image is at Sullivan lake I'm pretty sure. I know the owner of this 1960 C182. His name is Paul. The 182 is no normal airplane. 1 of the best aircraft ever built. No doubt about it.

What's so great about a C182?

Post by scottb613 »

Hi Folks,

While I learned in a C172 - once I went low wing I never looked back... I just preferred the way low wings flew and had no interest in a high wing... Now I'm at the point I'm considering upgrading my entry level low wing for something with a bit more performance/utility and all roads lead me back to the venerable C182... I can't think of another plane that will allow my wife and I to travel with full fuel tanks - a weeks worth of baggage - fly non-stop for 800 miles - utilizing grass strips - while keeping the acquisition costs in the neighborhood of 100K... I'm looking and would seriously be tempted if I could find a good "R" model (88 gallons useable) for the right price...

Those camping shots are exactly what I'm interested in... What I would consider easy backwoods flyimg...

Anyone ever watch ""motodave" videos - he's the guy who posted here requesting that very colorful orange A2A paint of his plane tagged with Costa Rican reg numbers... The guy is the real deal for bush flying and has some very impressive videos on YouTube flying the Pacific Northwest...

Yeah - the idea of a C182 is certainly growing on me...

Regards,
Scott

The 182 is a fantastic airplane, the costs of ownership are reasonable for such utility. You can get it into almost anywhere and useful load is hard to beat. Whilst not the fastest in class, it is fast enough to get places. The biggest issue with the O470 continental is you will get very familiar with carb icing at the merest hint of moisture. That in itself is not a problem, it's just something to be aware of.

Nice pic Hobart, but that aircraft has been fitted with some very powerful STOL mods so isn't very standard!

Now THAT would be a nice feature to add to the A2A bird... :wink:
