Congratulations, you have found the back country aircraft you have been looking for! If you have been searching for the nicest 185 on the market, N192JR is a serious contender. This is a beautifully presented, exceptionally well-equipped A185F Skywagon with the kind of pedigree buyers want most: hangared, highly upgraded, and showing no damage history. With approximately 7,840 hours total time, a 300 HP Continental conversion with roughly 400 hours since remanufactured, and a 3-blade MT composite prop with about 330 hours since new, this airplane brings together performance, utility, and pride of ownership in one outstanding package. The panel and equipment list are equally impressive. N192JR features a modern Garmin glass cockpit and IFR-capable avionics suite, along with numerous high-value improvements that make this one of the most desirable 185s available. Notable upgrades include Sportsman STOL, vortex generators, P. Ponk landing gear, Seaplanes West engine mount, BAS shoulder harnesses, Rosen visors, LED exterior lighting, dual toe brakes, and more. With a useful load of approximately 1,184 pounds, it remains every bit as practical as it is attractive. Just as important is what this airplane is not. N192JR is not a float or ski airplane, and that should be viewed as a major benefit, not a drawback. Buyers who understand these aircraft know that avoiding float and ski use can mean less structural stress, less exposure to harsh environments, and a more confidence-inspiring airframe. In other words, this is the kind of straight, structurally sound 185 that discriminating buyers actively seek out. Finished in a sharp paint scheme and reportedly repainted in 2017, this Skywagon has the looks to match its equipment, capability, and condition. It is a premium example for the buyer who does not want to compromise on pedigree, presentation, or upgrades. No damage history. No excuses. Just one of the finest Cessna 185s on the market today. Garmin glass panel setup with PFD/MFD and synthetic vision Garmin touchscreen IFR-capable avionics Garmin audio panel Garmin Flight Stream 510 Garmin ADS-B/transponder capability XM/weather-related capability appears to be installed Digital clock/timer and charging provisions noted on the equipment list Overall, this aircraft presents as a seriously upgraded, modernized 185 panel Complete and current logs No damage history Hangared Fresh annual inspection noted on the spec sheet Approx. 1,184 lb useful load Beautifully presented, highly upgraded, and exceptionally well cared for Not configured for floats or skis - and that is a major advantage for many buyers, as it means this aircraft has remained focused as a landplane and supports the appeal of a structurally sound, straight airframe without the additional wear and stress often associated with float and ski operations
