Cessna 180 Skywagon

The Cessna 180 Skywagon is a four- or six-seat, fixed conventional gear general aviation airplane which was produced between 1953 and 1981.

The fuselage is a semi-monocoque structure, with exterior skin sheets riveted to formers and longerons.

The strut-braced wings, likewise, are constructed of exterior skin sheets riveted to spars and ribs.

[1] The Cessna 180 gained recognition as the aircraft chosen by Geraldine Mock, the first woman pilot to successfully fly around the world.

The flight was made in 1964 in her 1953 model, the Spirit of Columbus (N1538C), as chronicled in her book Three-Eight Charlie.
