1962 Cessna 185A SkywagonSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft • South Africa

This 1962 Cessna 185A Skywagon (ZS-CVI) presents as a capable bush aircraft with 10,124 total airframe hours and a low-time engine showing just 705 hours since major overhaul (SMOH) in June 1998. The Continental IO-470-F powerplant operates within a 2,200-hour TBO cycle, paired with a McCauley two-blade propeller that was overhauled more recently in July 2021 with 705 hours since service. The aircraft features practical upgrades including heavy-duty landing gear springs and axles for rough-field operations, long-range fuel tanks for extended missions, and a cargo pod for utility work.

The panel is equipped with modern Garmin avionics...
