| Source measurement | — | The Cessna 180 gained recognition as the aircraft chosen by Geraldine Mock , the first woman pilot to successfully fly around the world. The flight was made in 1964 in her 1953 model, the Spirit of Columbus (N1538C), as chronicled in her 1970 book Three-Eight Charlie . The Cessna factory obtained the aircraft and kept it at the Pawnee (Wichita, Kansas) manufacturing plant after the epic flight, suspended from the ceiling over one of the manufacturing lines. It is currently on display at the National Air and Space Museum .[source]Cessna 180 Skywagon · Operational history / Record flight; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Introduced for the 1953 model year with four seats, all-metal construction, a 225 hp (168 kW) Continental O-470-A engine driving a constant-speed propeller , a squared vertical tail (as opposed to previous types' rounded tails), "Para-Lift" flaps, spring steel landing gear with a steerable tail wheel, and a gross weight of 2,550 lb (1,157 kg).
