Just saw this tonight in case anyone is in need of a new plane for Christmas.
Almost 50 amazingly realistic aircraft add-ons from Carenado from 30-60% off! Day 8. http://www.fspilotshop.com/12daysale.php
One of them is the Cessna 185 Skywagon Bush X

Question.  I understand the obvious appeal of the C185F Bush variant (I grabbed it yesterday) but what about the vanilla wheeled version? Is it worth having in one's hangar? It costs about 50% more than the Bush plane yet seems to have less going for it - variable wheel pants (whoopee!) and prop versus floats/amphib/skis/tundra.  What am I missing?
Why take Life seriously? You'll never get out of it alive!

Not much unless you just gotta have pants!  Bush planes don't use em due to clogging up with mud and crud from off airport landings.  As you say cost more and has less in the package.
