Everyday Pilot l Cessna 210 Driver

[@joebloggs8785]

8:35 The clouds look like Flight Simulator! i.e. single layer all same shape Love watching your videos Mike; it inspires me to work harder on my business, so I can afford to fly myself in the future.

[@droge192]

What a wonderful, humble gentleman.

[@bernardanderson3758]

I’ve got several high performance hours in the Cessna 210s and the P210 models and I love the way they handle and with the IO-520 engine you have the power and cruise for cross country

[@tryonco]

Good video Mike. I grew up flying with my Dad, first in his Cessna 182 and later in his v-tail Bonanza and later his A-36 Bonanza. Several of our friends had 210’s and I always admired them, for they were fast like a Bonanza but had a higher degree of practicality and that high-wing benefit. Thanks to your host on this video 👍

[@PartyCart]

My dad worked and lived in a hangar at that airport a few years ago before passed away. It was good to see his old place in the background and giving KCCO some love. Keep up the good work, Mike! Hope to see your Sling around KRYY soon!

[@iamlaws1232]

One thing you didn't mention about the 210 that impressed me when I was flying a lot: 17 GPH at 65% cruise. At the price of avgas today, that makes the price of the airplane itself seem very reasonable when compared to its cost of operation. The best I could ever get out of a Seneca II (turbocharged twin) at 65% was 24 GPH, yet the CT210 has a considerably faster cruise speed (195 Knots vs. 165 Knots) on only one engine. Both will carry six people and baggage with very similar weights and balances. It is hard to justify a budget item for a light twin with performers like that of the 210. Great airplane. Great economics.

[@pauljalbert]

I have about 200 hours in 210's. It's an airplane I love. Great panel on this one.

[@naijapilotxmax6006]

Veteran in the field. Well done Sir!

[@marlinweekley51]

Ive owned the same 210 for last 25 years. Great traveling machine. Flew it to alaska and back a few years ago - great trouble free trip. The plane has legs, if you run lop even longer legs, decent speed and will care anything you load in. Ill never sell it.

[@billylallen2662]

That looks like a 510 Datsun in the hanger too, that would be a nice story, to see about it’s history.

[@danielmasters8145]

Thank you Mike and Dr. Anderson for sharing

[@edwinbest9256]

Nice video Doc. My 210 experience, owned and flew one a dozen years, was a lot like yours. Used it to do the fun family things with my Dad and others. Miss him and it! Keep flying and enjoying life.

[@Motor521]

Thank you Dr. Anderson for your story. I enjoyed your love of flying, and your ability to achieve it.

[@RenegadeADV]

I love the way a 210 flies, they are a fantastic airplane. Hopefully I will be able to own one someday.

[@navinstrument8353]

Flying just for the sheer pleasure of looking at the earth from above. That's exactly what I imagine all this time. High wing is definitely the choice for that. So far I've enjoyed flight as an airliner passenger. I hope someday I'll be able to fly for the sheer pleasure of it in ny own okane just like this gentleman.

[@suzukirider9030]

IDK, flown a DA-40 and honestly although it's a low wing the view is much better than from a 172 or 182. Granted the 210 doesn't have the strut in the way... but in the DA-40 the low wing leading edge is far enough behind that it doesn't get in the view, for the front-seat occupants anyway. And in SoCal you wanna search for traffic, all the time - rather that gaze at houses and whatnot which are already below your airplane. For that a low-wing bubble-canopy is MUCH better than a high-wing, with or without wing stuts.

[@michaeljohn8905]

I love that 210. It’s my favorite of the cessnas. Such a perfect plane. Just gotta maintain that gear. It’s prolly the only bad part of its design. Thanks for this post.

[@joechoward]

This is definitely the plane I’ve been considering purchasing for the family. Thank you for reviewing this plane.

[@blakesides6558]

dont

[@mattf49006]

It's a great family hauler..get checked out in it to be proficient and get a A and P familiar with cessna

[@mattf49006]

​@@blakesides6558..why?...enlighten me

[@reelchristianfishin7397]

Your videos are motivating. Keep up the good work!

[@conservativeokie]

I really like the 210, especially this one! What a nice plane and a nice gentleman. Cool show Mike!

[@michaelbrinkley9323]

Great video, very informative and above all very entertaining. A great first in the series. Looking forward to the next one. Great job Mike !

[@HR3EEE]

Awesome as usual Mike.

[@Watchful_Warrior]

Great video Mike.. I look forward to your next one..

[@superskullmaster]

I like the Silver Eagle Cessna 210.

[@froggyziffle]

Nothing better than the smell of kerosene in the morning :-)

[@Cast1]

It was a great story thank you for your videos. I Love it ❤️🙏🏻✌️

[@LWJCarroll]

Thanks Mike, that brought back really good memories flying with long time family friends in the US who owned and flew one which btw had the drooped LE mod....out of John Wayne Intl before they built the big terminal buildings there.....from there to Borrego Springs CA and also to Sedona AZ later on...plenty of room inside and the Kiwi sheepskin covers were great for seating...Rgds Laurie

[@pirateatfourty]

o love my 210p usually it is just me. i have had it for for around 27 years. i wouldnt own anyother type.i fly mine to visit friends on their ranch in wyoming and texas and nebraska and kansas.land on their ranches. but mine is also known ice. full glass panel now. for the money you cant beat it. just had western skyways install a new engine. so it is good till i die lol i put on around 250 hours a year. i have also flown it to europe 4 times. i try not to fly into ifr conditions if i do not have to. older i get the less i like bad weather. best airplane as far as i am concerned. never take anyone with me cept my dogs. they rarely talk back or ask questions lol

[@TheBuldog2000]

Great Report

[@treylem3]

You just know this guy has a wealth of knowledge.

[@johnkacarab2661]

I always like to know about Heating and cooling.... yet it is rarely discussed in any of the flying videos out there.

[@joeayres9952]

I heard Dr. Anderson mention Newnan. I noticed the Piedmont Hospital logo on his jacket. Falcon Field is about 15 minutes from me.

[@gwiz2073]

Great vid Mike. I scribed. Maybe you can do a vid on a Piper Aerostar sometime? Thanks.

[@EdwardSmart]

Informative video! Nice 'long haul' aircraft!

[@dannybryant4459]

The Cessna 210 is a very nice airplane had a friend from church that had one used it some for aerial pictures

[@tomdavison9107]

Thanks Doc!

[@sw3w537]

Great video. Great Dr.

[@peaceloveforever88]

Hello Mike, GREAT video

[@arssavin]

I've been watching your video for awhile. I feel in love with bird eye view. And envy that American can own Airplane because price is touchable. Someday if I have chance I want too.

[@HookedOnUtah]

Great video. 1975 would make this 210 45 years old.

[@ctsteve1967]

and what is the point?

[@HookedOnUtah]

@@ctsteve1967 That's the point! It's a 45 year old plane, not a 20 year old plane.

[@scottmcdonald3019]

Mike doesn’t do trivial details like that , 20 years, 30 years , 45 years it all de same

[@mattf49006]

​@@HookedOnUtaha 45 year old aircraft with probably 2000 hrs on it with very documented maintenance...in automotive terms a 45 year old car that's driven 20 miles a week and garaged

[@ruslanulko8195]

Great video just came back

[@colinferrell4954]

great little flight...

[@Dr.Pepper001]

It's powerful for its size.

[@cbthrasher]

I love your videos Mike 💪

[@MsRandiCook]

Have owned a 210T and P210. Loved the T better than the P.

[@superskullmaster]

Randi Cook I bet the annual was actually cheaper for the T since there is no pressurization.

[@abrutus1]

Do you care to elaborate? what make you like the T more than the P. I am currently considering both

[@MsRandiCook]

@@superskullmaster it was!

[@MsRandiCook]

@@abrutus1 I would not purchase another P Model. It was expensive to annual, weights more, and at altitude, it ran hotter than the T. Plus your view in the T out the windows is so much greater in VFR conditions. Just my opinion.... 😊

[@flarepilot3054]

awesome dude

[@georgewalker6883]

High wing fan here, we have a 172, but if life allows in the future a 210 would be nice. Thanks for the video

[@paulbickley658]

Yep, good video

[@lockirocu]

210 Content starts @ 4:01

[@tjsteele513]

Beutiful aircraft..

[@NotTelling51]

Great flying airplane

[@larsbjork7412]

Many Thanks, fantastic ✅👍

[@suzukirider9030]

$150k for a C-210 with a G3X-based glass panel? And how many hours on the engine? An overhaul on one of these is well north of $50k, I'd imagine...

[@sw3w537]

Hello, i need a plane more modern like this. Now. What is a like kind kit? im sure nothing certified.

[@juliusouma4474]

How many years can one keep an aeroplane? I am always afraid of the old planes thniking that it can fail easily mid air.

[@dylandelarosa9856]

Decades. There are strict standards for maintenance. 210’s were made from the late sixties to early/mid eighties. Many are still flying today.

[@mattf49006]

As long as it's maintained...this plane probably as about 2500 hrs on the airframe...barely used ..think your 45 yr old car driven 20 miles a week and babied

[@fsamec]

Maybe I’ll see you at Fun n Sun in Lakeland, Fl

[@danliddiard]

I love 210s!

[@mobulusmoby3864]

BTW, Moody Bible Institute has not closed... It is alive and well, and in its 134th year! Just the Spokane, WA regional campus closed. Main campus is in Chicago, IL. A minor correction... Great video!

[@andrewbaird6078]

Trues 155kts at 10,000?? That doesn’t make sense unless he’s doing 55% power or something for long range.

[@erichboese7209]

Sounds about right for a normally aspirated 210.

[@psteen67]

Hey Mike, If you're ever in the Denver area, and would like to fly a pretty nice turbo Mooney. And maybe get some time up in the flight levels, let me know. I'll be happy to hook you up.

[@mojogrip]

I'll keep you in mind Paul. Thanks.

[@gregr1541]

A Cessna 210 pilot flying low in Australia had his wing breaker off, the pilot and I believe a passenger crashed to their death after having had the structure of a Cessna 210 wing explained to me, I would never buy a Cessna 210 or fly in one.

[@mojogrip]

Greg, many old aircraft including the 210 have wing spar or corrosion issues. Keep in mind these planes are decades old, and if left unnoticed the airframe joints can get corroded or deteriorate over time. There have been multiple airworthiness directives issued over the years to fix these problems.

[@HIHaiki]

Any aircraft with no proper maintenance would get into similar issue and this sounds like major structural damage so it cannot be a small neglecant so the story has many variables to talk about .I flew in very old cessnas from 60s and never were worried about the structural condition because of the good maintenance record !

[@mattf49006]

The aussie 210 was modified with a 12 foot ground mapping radar probe sticking out the rear and flew for years low and in turbulence...also it as a very high time airframe ....Cessna has fail safe tested a late model 210 to 7.5 g ..but in retrospect you aren't a pilot so the chances of you flying or owning one is nill

[@mattf49006]

​@@mojogripactually no...the main spar AD is fairly recent ..most corrosion occurs in airframe neglected or with aircraft equipped with A/C were the condenser lines are run next to the spar and insulation allow moisture to be retained

[@not_enoughmana]

Wish they were still $150k 😭

[@Heathfx5]

If only you could get one for $150k…in the couple of years since this video, the price of a good 210 has skyrocketed to $300k. I think the 210 is better than the bonanza…anyone thinks otherwise, fight me. Lol just kidding.

[@michaeljohn8905]

I would love to fly in one. I’m a mechanic at KLZU in Atlanta Atlanta if anyone wants a co pilot in their 210 let me know. ! Lol

[@nocotton]

150K for an old but distinguished bird. Yeah. Why not buy 2?

[@ctsteve1967]

I think most of us have at least 150K laying around

[@carlfichtner8148]

Love your videos ! But this is a nice plane ! Like you said fast and great payload !👍👍

[@carpediem6568]

I think boating is cheaper.

[@rconger24]

struts?

[@superskullmaster]

Ray Conger the Internet is your friend. The Cessna 177 and 210 don’t have struts.

[@dylandelarosa9856]

Demon Got Me some 210’s do have struts

[@mattf49006]

210s had strut from 66 back...from then till 86 they had cantilever wings

[@Linetoroni]

IAM Christopher from Kenya how much is plane if you convert to Kenyan money.

[@RootBeerGMT]

155kts isn't very impressive. He needs a 310.

[@weofnjieofing]

Convert it to turbine!

It was at the time of this video. Unfortunately aircraft prices have skyrocketed since then
