Catching a Cessna 185

While I was taking pictures the lighthouse, I heard the awesome sound of an aircraft approaching.
 Me being me couldn't resist to turn my camera towards that sound take pictures of it.
 It out that this airplane is a Cessna 185 Skywagon.  It was developed from the Cessna 180 and first flew in 1960.  The first production aircraft was introduced a year later.
 It has a strengthened fuselage and has a 300 horsepower Continental engine instead of the 230 horsepower Continental engine on the Cessna 180.
 When production ended in 1985, over 4,000 were produced.
It is widely used for bush flying.
