1965 Cessna 182 SkylaneSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1965 Cessna 182 Skylane (N3494S) presents a well-maintained example with modern avionics and performance enhancements. The airframe shows 5,223 total hours, while the Continental O-470-2 engine has 1,502 hours SMOH (overhauled in 1993) with 498 hours remaining until TBO. The aircraft features a McCauley 2-blade aluminum propeller with matching SMOH time. Notable upgrades include a Garmin G5 flight deck, GPS 175 navigator, GNX 375 transponder with ADS-B, and GNC 355 radio, all with included STCs. The Skylane also benefits from Horton fiberglass wingtips and extended range fuel tanks, enhancing its cross-country capability.

The aircraft received a fresh custom red, white, and blue paint scheme in 2021, while the original 1965 interior remains in immaculate condition with seating for four. With a useful load of 1,190 lbs and STOL modifications, this IFR-capable Skylane offers versatility for both utility missions and personal travel. The aircraft has recently completed an annual inspection and comes with complete logs, currently hangared in Pueblo, Colorado. The combination of modern avionics, performance upgrades, and documented maintenance history makes this a compelling option for pilots seeking a capable 182 with updated systems.
