The Cessna 185 Skywagon, a light, single-engined general aviation aircraft manufactured by Cessna, entered production in 1961. Derived from the model 180, Cessna re-engineered the aircraft, reinforcing the fuselage and introducing a vertical fin. Initially equipped with a Continental Motors IO-470-F engine, the aircraft underwent an upgrade in 1966, receiving the enhanced Continental IO-520-D powerplant. The Skywagon offered various optional features, including floats or skis, spray booms, and a cargo pod beneath the sub-fuselage for additional payload.
