Description

This 1956 Cessna 182 is a rare blend of aviation capability and literary history. Owned and flown by award-winning author Peter Heller, it is the very airplane that inspired and appeared in his acclaimed novel The Dog Stars. Heller flew this aircraft throughout the American West, and those real flights gave the story its authenticity, spirit, and sense of freedom. The Cessna 182 is renowned for its stability, performance, and versatility—but this example carries something more: provenance, story, and soul. It represents a unique opportunity to own not just a respected aircraft, but one connected to a modern classic of aviation literature. 1956 was the first year of production of the 182. These airframes were significantly lighter weight with the same 230 hp engine producing more performance than later year models.
