As you stated, it's a big airplane, big engine, and a big heart. I liken these to the Clydesdale. Truly one of Cessnas greatest achievements. Thanks for sharing Mark!

Nice bit of info about the button on the door. I will remind myself about that whenever I'm about to fly the 206H in my dreams.

Starboard flap trick was a gem! Thanks for sharing the endless expertise.

Ahhh, if only we had an operational autopilot way back in the 60/70s , the 5000 hrs would have been so much less of a chore, particularly in IMC. We had a couple of 206s and a horrible 207 plus A36s and BE58……..and not one working autopilot between them !

Flew an H model, amazing short fielder... it still flies in a 5,000 foot altitude airport and will hold 6 adults with baggage each and 70 gallons of fuel, somewhat slow at takeoff but still a hauler. Great review as always Sir!

To me, flying a 206 is so similar to flying a 182, but the 206 just gives me a feeling of security and dependability. Though my flying days are over, I would love to own one just to be able to pet it every day 😊.

I always love watching your reviews. Skywagon is my favorite YT channel. Glad you the Skywagon opening is still at the beginning. : )

Good stuff as always. Thanks Mark!

No one wants to graduate from Skywagon University, we'd miss out on all these golden lessons! Delivered in this very easy to watch format and pace, and it's so quiet at that airport, it's like you've got the place to yourself.

Fond memories of flying U206G always loved how you could dump the flaps all out below 140 and how effective it would wash off speed and the landing flare at 1700 rpm then bleed off rpm and let her settle on the runway

Awesome informative video, as always, thank you, Mark. As an aspiring private pilot, I'm learning loads from your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your immense wealth of knowledge. Your presentation is awesome, which makes the material very easy to absorb. Well done!

Wow! Very thorough and detailed video. Awesome job.

Love the 206! Enjoyed the video!

Always good Mark, thanks.

Very nice station air !

Love this aviation KZfaq channel!

If only I had more money I'd buy that plane. Shame I never was fast enough for the 205 in the other videos. Keep 'em coming!

Nice bird. You guys sold this one pretty quick, after you had it! This is the one for our flying club. If you get another like this, we want it!

I really enjoy the detail between models. It’s quite difficult to differentiate by just browsing. There are so many interesting aircraft out there. I’ve always thought that the Rockwell Commander and Piper Aerostar deserve a good review.

Fond memories flying a 206 around Botswana in 1994. Perhaps you are looking for: AC Aircraft Tugs in Chino? Excellent product. I have to maneuver my C180/55 in very tight quarters, only able to do that with this tug. Remote controlled standing at the wingtip.

Thank you for sharing

I have two, a 1977 G model, and a 1976 F model. Both have been re-engined with the Continental IO550N cross flow engine, using the Atlantic Aero STC. I have flown the 2007 H model with the Garmin 1000, but the IO550N allows improved climb and takeoff performance.

I was a co-pilot in a Cessna 180K Skywagon in Panama City Beach, Florida. # N63403 My grandfather and grandmother on my father's side owned a business called Bay Seaplanes from 1995 to 2009 and they picked up that plane in California back in 1996 because the first seaplane which was model number N65360tel was totaled in a hurricane. They sold the plane in 2009 because my grandfather had a heart attack and the doctor said he had to quit flying for good. He was heartbroken about it. They sold it after his surgical procedure on his heart.

Thank you

another great plane thanks skywagon university 👍

Love to ferry this one

What a grand plane. Too bad they are priced as they are but, it's priced as they are because they're so great. Wish I owned one. Thanks for posting.

First one here, keep the videos coming!! Always a treat

Good stuff Mark I always learn something from you!!!

A great airplane. Like a 182 but better!

Would love to see an interview with an A188 Agwagon - Dad flew them new from Wichita back in the day cropdusting in NZ

While flying at a Colorado drop zone from 1995 to 2003, I ended up with better than 2000 hours in a TP206A jump plane. The early models had smaller tail feathers, but that's easy to deal with. It was sold to and crashed by a local moron a few years later.

The grand old workhorse of the aviation world; made a living in them in Alaska flying people and dead animals; easy in and out of a 600’ gravel bar with whatever you put in it; never let me down

Nice bird.

Hi Mark, nice review! Is the Stationer the only 2002 with a 40 degrees flap? Since the newer 172&182s had the flap angle cut to 30 degrees to help in go arounds. I mean, that looks 40 to me.

Excellent video and Cessna. Looks like Cameron Park. Correct?

👍👍👍👍👍

Was the 207/208 version fuselage longer or were each of the tandem seats closer to each other (i.e.--less leg room)?

Mark ive been in a 68 182 that has the Garmin 700 Auto-pilot

How does the Gibbs Airvan GA8 compares with the 2006?

I have 1000s of hours in the 206

Sir, do naturally-aspirated piston-engine aircraft tend to cause piston ring flutter when cruising at long periods at altitude with manifold pressure lower (let say 11,000 ft ISA or warmer less than 20 in Hg) of what is recommended in the POH during cruise?

The little wheel is in the wrong place, but the 206 is nevertheless a great airplane.

Is the 206 wider than a 182/210?

"... it's very similar, but has some big differences..." 😂😉

Where is the air filter?

Did you track down the tug Mark?

206

Can you be a commercial cargo carrier with this plane? Cessna 208s are 4-5x the cost of this.

I would like to see a video comparing a 185 vs 206.
