It took about 8 months of looking, but I am now the owner of a new to me Cessna 182C. A huge thanks goes out to 182 STOL driver (Bill Reid) for getting me in contact with the owner before N8822T went on the market, performing the pre-buy and flying her up to Las Vegas. Thanks to all the people who chimed in on my various posts and pointed me in the right direction. I picked her up this morning and logged my first 3 hours of time on the flight back to Durango.

You should be ashamed for posting such great news without a picture! congrats!

Great news!!

Post pictures!!

Yes, we need pictures! Congrats!

Here she is!

And it only took four guys, two 182's, a rental car, and a burned up Cardinal to get you into the airplane

Nice looking ship. Congrats!

Really nice 182C -smooth as silk -flies straight -my Grand Daughter could fly this one with a pillow.

Congrats! Nice looking bird! Fly the heck out of it, 182's are great planes, Enjoy!

congrats! I bought a 182c this spring and couldn't be happier. Good luck with your plane.

Nice looking 182! Great airplane choice, I picked up another one this spring too. Hard to beat the 182 for a good all around flying machine.



This is the one I picked up earlier this year.

Nice! I grew up with a C model N8872T. Sadly that airplane was wrecked after we sold it They were probably on the line together at Cessna!

have a new to me 182C that I bought in August. Nice to see a good representation of nose draggers on the board.

Nice plane Singletrack!

Groovy shoes and socks, maybe we should re name you, 8-Track!

Man where do you guys find these sweet birds? I just sold my RV-9A (getting picked up this weekend) and am embarking on the hunt for a 182. If anyone has tips lemme know!
