The Family Wagon

The Stats

The Family Wagon is the newest addition to the fleet—a 1954 Cessna 180 with a rich Alaskan history. It began its life flying for Wien Air Alaska until 1961, when it was purchased by Merle Smith, who flew it for Cordova Air. From the moment it rolled off the factory line, this plane has been serving Alaska. Now, it’s my turn to add to its story and make memories of my own.
