1973 Cessna 185FSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft • Delta, British Columbia, Canada

This 1973 Cessna 185F (Registration C-FCUK) represents a comprehensively upgraded bush aircraft with only 6,927 total airframe hours and essentially new powerplant components. The airframe underwent a thorough refurbishment in 2012 including complete paint stripping, alodining, and reinstallation with all-new hardware, while maintaining commercial-grade maintenance standards with all ADs and SBs complied. Power comes from a factory-new Continental IO-550 engine with just 74 hours since installation in 2024, paired with a fresh Hartzell 3-blade scimitar propeller dynamically balanced at installation.
