Man, when I started flying, the KLN-94 was state of the art. I remember the Millennium edition Cessnas all had that and the KMD-550 MFD. Coming from a 1978 172 into an ME was like getting into an Airbus A320! Hard to believe Garmin changed the whole avionics game in the last 20 years!

Rich, I don't know if I've ever seen a better salesman than you. Upselling a plane based on ancient avionics. The only thing that I can think of that you missed is that you didn't call them valuable antiques. LMAO. Love your videos - keep 'em coming & stay safe. 😂

I was flying in Civil Air Patrol in the late 90's when we got a GPS unit just like that one in one of the corporate 182's. I remember thinking "man, how much better can technology get?" It replaced an old Loran unit and it felt like going from a Model T to a Ferrari.

These are the best videos ever for flight sim users. I fly X-plane 12 and try to duplicate real world flying. The power settings are especially useful in doing that. Thanks for the time and effort put into the videos. The videographer is great at showing the instruments like airspeed , manifold pressure, mixture and rpm. A great help. The auto pilot works just like that in X-plane.12 in the Beach Baron.

There is something always to be said about not having a single point of failure. New glass panels are excellent when they work, when they fail you wish you had your steam gauges back. That being said, I've always been comfortable with a perfect mix of both in GA. Fly the plane. Really nice aircraft.
