| Overview | |
| Rare opportunity to own an incredibly low-time, 2-owner Skywagon with beautifully upgraded panel and interior. No accident history. This unicorn was purchased brand-new by a renowned doctor, who modified it in 1975 (including a new all-white paint scheme) for volunteer medical work but never put the airplane to work for that purpose. N53044 has since been impeccably updated by its current owner with a custom avionics suite featuring the latest and greatest Garmin avionics, including G500 TXi touchscreen primary flight display with engine indicating system, Garmin GTN 750Xi touchscreen GPS/nav/comm, Garmin GFC 500 autopilot with SmartGlide, Garmin GTX 345 remote ADS-B In/Out transponder, Garmin FlightStream 510 for wirelessly sending flight plans, and so much more. Beautifully updated interior features woven vinyl flooring, coordinating sidewalls, and charcoal and light gray seating with diamond quilting across all four seats. N53044 is currently on Wipline 3730 amphibious floats. Landplane gear is also included. Do not miss this chance to be the next custodian of this amazing example of Cessna's legendary 185 Skywagon. | |
