[@chucksdesk]

I have owned Cessna 310's for over 21 years. MY opinion is this airplane needs to be put back in the air. Of all the choices in light twins out there today, the 310 is the best choice. It is fast and comfortable plane to own and fly. It is expensive only if you choose the WRONG people to do the maintenance on it. There are a lot of good shops on airports that don't have high rent. They can do great work and not take you to the cleaners. People who take their airplanes to big airport maintenance have to be not concerned with cost. The most expensive and the poorest annual I have gotten in 21 years on my airplane was at a high rent big airport.

[@jenniferbeyer6412]

You are lucky to be able to fly any time you want. I wish I could fly again. I really miss flying. And you are right about the cost. Some times doing the repair yourself is the best way to go.

[@RandomName841]

A lot of the expense of cessna twins twins comes from the increasing rarity and price of parts that need to be replaced. But cessna twins like the 320 and 310s really are about the best planes you can get without going to something like a king air.

[@chucksdesk]

@@RandomName841 Agree, but what I was aiming at is that the cost of labor and inspections like annuals can be twice+ the cost at shops on smaller "low rent" airports for the same service.

[@RandomName841]

@@chucksdesk You are definitely right the price of annuals can vary greatly based on where you choose to get it done. It's certainly important to consider things like that carefully since the costs can definitely add up.

[@jimirvine3152]

Same here

[@spvillano]

All too frequently, a long abandoned aircraft is a hugely expensive aircraft. Airworthiness directives, repairing corroded components and more take a toll. Think recovering a car from a pond after a decade or so, the body isn't rusted out, don't mean that the engine and drivetrain aren't rusted together as a solid block. Or that the shock mounts are corroded through... Still, I'd still go for it. Get a cooperative A&P type to inspect and train, at least until I could certify in A&P, go to town restoring.

[@awkwarddude]

Love it! I grew up watching Sky King on black and white TV in the 50s. His second aircraft was a Cessna 310B and his registration IIRC was N975B. I looked up your aircraft's registration number and it's registered to a John Novak in my native hometown of Pittsburgh PA. Cert issued in 1975. It shows it as a 1955 Cessna 310. Very cool! I left Pittsburgh in 1964 for college in Youngstown, drafted after graduation in 69 and wound up in Colorado thanks to Uncle Sam for the last 51 years. Quite a pathway for me, wondering about the pathway of your Cessna. I love General Aviation though I could never afford a license. A few friends take me up occasionally. I'm a volunteer for the last 14 years at our local aircraft museum and I love the airport atmosphere! Thanks for your rescue efforts on old aircraft. I always think you guys who do rescue work on any vehicle need to pack a leaf blower, a shop vac and a pressure washer! First things first, make'm look prettier! Can I correctly assume that there is an airport runway or a grass airstrip within taxi distance of these stored aircraft? 😉👍👍

Interestingly enough, this plane has a story prior to it's hangaring! Back in mid-January of 82', this 310 was on a dusk approach to snowy Butler PA's rwy 36 when the left main landing gear, left wing and left prop struck an automobile driving on the perimeter road. There was significant damage to both plane and car, but no injuries in either. Plane landed safely. FAA's findings were 1) dusk light conditions 2) mus-judged distance PIC and 3) misjudged altitude PIC. Very happy to hear all walked away unharmed and this O-470 powered 310 gets to fly again in a new millennium!

I enjoy your videos quite a bit. I wanted desperately to be a jet pilot but, fate saved me (or fucked me). I took my first flying lessons at 16. My parents were dead set against me doing so, so it was difficult to sneak to the airport for lessons. At 18 at college I took lessons in Piper Cubs and then Cessnas whenever I could come up with money, but working thru college left me little money. So I figured I would join the Air Force when I graduated. So when I graduated, they didn’t need pilots as the Vietnam War was ending. I had about 30 hours of private time. So I couldn’t figure on a path to my goal and instead, went to law school. Halfway thru, I read that the Air Force needed pilots, so I applied and they said at 28 I was too old. I eventually became a Palm Beach County Judge and I never finished my license so I fly vicariously through you and others on KZbin. The world is much safer with me flying a simulator.

@@therealjimmysworld Check with Aircraft Specialists on Clark Regional Airport (KJVY) in Sellersburg, IN. You might want to contact White Industries in Batesville, MO(outside KC) to see if they have any props that have the AD complied with. Preferred Air Parts has thousands of Cessna parts. You might want to check with them as well. Send me the model and hub numbers and I’ll have a friend( actually an old boss) see what he can find. I used to do a lot of AD compliance work with South Coast Propeller( wasn’t their name back then) in Bessemer, AL, especially two bladed Hartzell and McCauley props.

I gotta say, for being from the 50s, this thing is beautiful and looks so sleek and streamlined! Love it! I should have gone to bed a while ago but I can't stop watching! I'm hooked on your channel!

This is really cool. My dad was a private pilot. He soloed in 1974. We would rent Cessna 150's and fly locally. Then around 79 we joined a Beech Aero Club and flew Sundowers, and Sierras. My dad got upset because the owner of the club kept changing rules and adding charges. In 1980 he bought a brand new Cessana 172 . The longest trip I flew with him was from BWI to Gadsten Alabama and back to visit relatives. He ended up selling 4815G around 83 to a pilot in Texas. I wonder where she is now.

N4815G has been deregistered and sent to Malaysia, according to the internet. Exotic.

Always wanted my own airplane. Now I'm too old. His son is living the life. This is great.

I have been a commercial pilots since 1970 and an Air Forced trained aircraft mechanic since 1968 with an A&P license. I would never consider flying that aircraft with out a complete tear down and inspection of both engines and props. Even if they were factory new when installed and has never been run. Also a complete annual inspection and repairs. Which would probably take at least a couple months.

[@samlouis9601]

Always waiting for this videos🙌

[@Marcaonoasfalto]

I will love to see that plane in the sky

[@llservice3376]

I'm an old man and I think the 310 was one of the best looking planes ever built

[@alexhafko5667]

Certificated airframe and power plant mech here, I am seriously jealous of that find. When I got my certificate in college, I worked on one of those! a 310R! Easily my favorite airplane in our hangar. It had been trashed by so many other students working on it. I had to do a mock annual on one of the engines that wouldnt start. Wound up being a timing issue. As soon as I set the timing correctly, she fired right up. Few things are more satisfying. Id love to have one, but a lot of the 310s out there that are active are pretty pricey, and old ones that need a lot of work usually require more money than they are worth to get airworthy again. Such a shame.

One of the coolest twin engine aircraft ever built. This one has a damage history from a landing accident in Jan of '82. The left wing and gear hit a car prior to touchdown. Looks like they did a good job on the repairs. She's a great find...

[@19211926]

I saw that too.

[@cherliebravo9044]

Finally! Been waiting! Good to see ya'll again

[@EvilTwinTT]

Words don't describe how much I would love to find a barn find like this!
