Supercool C180 Film

Sorry for my 180-centric mind... But this is a cool film.

I flew this particular 180 in Argentina ---Baralochoa ,Argentina -Have a roll of film(and DVD ) and pictures of this particular 180.Notice the Flat tips --- airplane was being sold to Swiss Air Pilot -from a doctor.This was in 1997 or so. Lake in pictures is border between Argentina and Chile. What a Adventure ! Wonderful place!

Re: Supercool C180 Film

Both great videos. What kind of wingtips does the first 180 have on it?

Ok. Thought maybe it was something certified, but never seen any like it. Kinda like the idea, keep the air from rolling off the top of the wing.

End Plates. I think the 185 Ag Carryall offered them as an option. Never seen them in real life. Friend said that it did block the view more than you would think in a turn.
