Hello all.

After getting my single, multi, and instrument, ive decided to try tailwheel flying. So far ive trained in a newer sport cub and cessna 170. However, my favorite is the Cessna 180! Just wondering if there are any 180 owners close to me so that maybe i can go up with them and see if I really want to purchase one. I just sold my 172 so looking for a new plane. Thanks.

Check the Int'l 180/185 Club

I believe their offline or not accepting new members

It's a bit more work than just a forum post, but use the FAA aircraft registry, where you can see the state breakdown by type. With some finagling you can see all the 180s in Kentucky.

At that point though, you have to go old school and find phone numbers or write paper letters.

Or just wait for a bite here.

I looked at the FAA registry and there are 8 listed in KY.

The 180 Club is dead. A lot of the 180 guys are on the Skywagon facebook page. I don't do facebook, so I don't participate.

Where are your in Kentucky?

There's a C180 for sale in KY currently. May be a good opportunity to check it out and maybe leave with an airplane?

180 convention in steamboat springs,co this weekend. Been a member for almost 40 years flying wagons. Club has lots of new members.

Email or call Scott, he is the Director for the KY area Int 180/185 Club. The club is far from dead, just not quite what it was 30 yrs ago.
